the war on acronyms

I heard this week that the 'War On Terror' is now being renamed to something like "the Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism" - otherwise known as 'GlobalSAVE'. The alleged benefits of this are that it removes the connotation of 'war' from the title, thus supposedly making people feel better about it. Furthermore, the 'global' part of the new acronym is supposed to signify the fact that it is the whole civilised world that are involved in the 'struggle'.

Seriously, whose eyes are they trying to pull the wool over?!?

Sigh !
