Is It or Isn't It A War On Terrorism?

Do not refer to what is going on in Iraq as a war on terrorism. In fact quit using that term all together. It might offend the Muslims. This is what Tony Blair the prime minister of England has been told. "Political correctness again".

Question: How can a phrase like "War on Terrorism" offend peace loving Muslims or Hindus or Christians? To my way of thinking about the only people it would offend are the terrorist. Because if we are aware that there is a war being carried on by bands of gangsters hiding behind religion we might stay alert enough to actually foil their murderous plots. These power hungry monsters are using religious fervor and fear to stir up hatred and turmoil. They have become very adept at using mass media as a weapon to demoralize our resistant's. They play on our weakness a degenerating sense of morality which is making cowards of us. Lets face it, before we can firmly stand up for what is right we need to know what is right. It appears to me that we as a nation has lost it's way. We as a people are stumbling around in confusion. We are no longer sure what we believe. Our enemies know this is a war of wills and because our values are clouded and our moral code is ill defined we are losing the will to win. Here we are the most powerful nation on earth and we are backing away from groups of terrorists. There is One who has said "I will break the pride of your power."? This appears to be exactly what is happening.
