Mr. Pipes: I asked you years ago to not use the misnomer. "War on Terror " as there is no such thing.Reader comment on item: Have Israelis Finally Learned the Strategic Value of Territory? Submitted by Steve Borkowski (United States), Jan 2, 2009 at 16:32 I said that it is a "War On Wahhabbism" because OBL dsclared war on us as the wahhabbis want to go back to the 7th century way of living under the Koran. You agreed with me but said you would continue war on terror.... Could you please correct the misnomer that is too often said so that all people would know more about the enemy and not a tactic. Ask Harlan Ullman if you need to. .... Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
