War Has New Trademark
The Bush administration has begun downplaying the phrase "war on terror" in favor of a new slogan, "a global struggle against violent extremism," according to this UPI story. No word yet on whether the Department of Homeland Security will be replacing the dull red, orange, yellow, blue, and green of its current "Color-coded Threat Level System" with the more aesthetically appealing vermillion, apricot, goldenrod, turquoise and emerald. Or maybe even some plaids, stripes or tweeds.
