Local Media Nitpicking

This nit was so ripe that I couldn’t resist picking it.  I’ve noticed that a lot of the addlepated local media is using the phrase “War On Iraq” in all of their newscasts.  I think our history of declaring war on damn near everything (poverty, crime, drugs, terrorism, etc.) has made it impossible for them to phrase this correctly.  Saying “war on Iraq” sounds like we’re trying to wreak havoc and kill innocents.  We’re waging a war in Iraq to remove the tyrannical government and its sympathizers.
