Hmmm, What Should We Call It?

The following quote from Russ Feingold, comes from Maureen Dowd's latest column on the failed Christmas Day bomber and the fact that he came via Yemen.

"Senator Feingold told me that 'this is obviously an international network and we have to start thinking about it that way rather than as a country-by-country eradication process.'”

What a terrific observation. Maybe we should start calling it something that elucidates this reality. Something more indicative of what is really going on. Something like, oh, I don't know, "the global war on terror"?
