Bush’s war
is an uncivil one
To the editor:
Lately, as if it matters, a big deal is being made about what to call what is happening in Iraq. Whatever it is really is irrelevant but tell that to the spinners.
For example, the Bushites cannot bring themselves to call it a "civil war." they seem to favor the euphemistic "sectarian insurgency." Jon Stewart’s Daily Show came up with "faith-based melee" and "internal sovereignty challenge."
Why has this received so much news and airtime? Is everything else less important? Or is it another mechanism to divert the thoughts of the populace from more serious matters like the deaths and injuries to our young men and women and the fortunes thrown away by us on a daily basis for an unwinnable cause?
To serttle this matter once and for all, I want to suggest the definitive definition and stop all this nonsense and waste of time. Obviously, it should be called "an uncivil war."
