Chamberlain would probably concur with that decision.

Yes, the term "war on terror" should be abolished. It should
be replaced by the more accurate term, "war on Islam".

It'll be really sad when I have to tell my grandchildren that I remember when there was a "United Kingdom", and it wasn't the Saudis

Britain's Foreign Office is urging government officials to stop using the US term "war on terror" amid concerns it angers British Muslims ...

Mary, Mother of God. Why would it "anger" any of those multitudes of "peace-loving, moderate Muslims" we're reassured constantly are out there? If you don't plan to use terror, why would a reference to the "war" on it bother you?!

Further, if you (meaning Great Britain) are letting your country fill up with a population so inclined, maybe that ought to concern you!

But let's do change the name. Let's start calling it what it is: the war on Islamic fascism! Even though we've apparently lost the nerve to actually fight it.

Why don't they just surrender to Iran now and get it over with? I'm so sick of this kind of politics. Do these people really believe a change in terminology will win radical Muslims over to peace? What kind of moron believes such a thing? A moron who deserves to die at the hands of radical islamists.

I agree with them -- "war on terror" should be replaced with "effort to encourage people outside our love circle to hold hands and join us in singing Kumbaya"

It will be infinitely more effective than Bush's overly aggressive "cowboy" approach to our detractors. Not only that, it will decrease the frustration they have with us by making us easier to kill, if that's their bag.

There's only one way that should be answered...

"LONDON (AFP) - Britain's Foreign Office is urging government officials to stop using the US term "war on terror" amid concerns it angers British Muslims and undermines government aims---"

When "British" muslims unite and apply their rage to stop their government from labeling muslim extremists as 'terrorists', this is in itself a form of terrorism. Foisting their ideals and beliefs upon others through their rage and threats is the very personification of 'terrorism'. Why are Western leaders so blind to this fact? Why fight foreign "terrorists" and appease their homegrown islamoficist terrorists? The minds of Western leaders are so tied up in the knots of political correctness that they cannot think rationally anymore, save the Prime Minister of Australia, Mr. Howard. He is the only Western leader with a pair of ba!!$ and a rational mind.

I agree.This War on terror title is crap.This is not even a war the way its being fought.Its more like a police action.

That's not to denigrate the military but the politicians in both parties are stinking things up and placing this country at risk.A very big risk.

If this were a war we would be going after the sponsores of these terrorist groups,Saudi Arabia,Iran,Syria,etc.But we don't.

We are fighting a proxy war and it seems like we don't even know it.

This is all the left wing which want to surrender immediatly.

They foreign department must be as left wing as the US state department.

No surprise since the left has been consulting with the democrats.

Big Brother would be proud.

Nevil Chamberli would be orgasmic.

Good, because it is the international war against (snigger)"radical"(/snigger) Islam...

I hope the Euro-weaklings get that smug liberal smile slapped off their stupid suicidal faces.

Fine. And we'll stop using some terms that make no sense either. Like "United Kingdom" and "British Intelligence"...

Perhaps this will make the Brits feel better while they live in their fool's paradise. Me I'd rather know the truth.

'War on Terror' has always been too vague for me.

I think we should stop using the "war on terror" phrase also. It's far too abstract and obtuse, like the "war on drugs". We are at war with terrorists and the nation states who support them- or, at least, we should be. Of course, we don't wantot be too harsh or hurt sensibilities, so we market it as a "war on terror".
