But if we are going to change the name, I'd hope we'd at least make the name better. This is ridiculous:
Here's the current top candidate (you'll need to book some time to get through the whole thing): "The Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism."
My major hope is that this will fail and all those who waste time complaining about "war on terror" will heave a sigh of relief and tackle serious questions of strategy. I have to hope this is like the New Coke fiasco to make Classic War on Terror terminology look far better than the alternative.
If it isn't a deep fake, we really might be on the verge of calling our enemies "happy Islamist friends."
