Dear Mr. Bush and Mr. Rumsfeld;

I know you're both really busy guys and don't have lots of spare time to do extensive research before testing out your new scary terminologies to use on the American public at large. I know it's really important to you guys to impress upon us citizens how we are under a constant and severe threat from the "enemy" and in your struggles to define "the enemy" for us - you are continually in need of new tools, verbiage and brushes to paint them with. So I can appreciate how we slipped back and forth from "Terra" to "extreme hatred" to "violent extremism" and then back to "global terra" a few times before comfortably settling into the 'GWOT' again, like an old pair of bedroom slippers you just can't abandon.
