St. Louis Newspaper Post Dispatch to Drop 'War on Terror' Label deemed inappropriate

Why we are dropping the War on Terror label

 When U.S. and allied forces invaded Afghanistan nine years ago to hunt down Osama bin Laden and the other members of the Islamic extremist group al-Qaida, the military operations were labeled a War on Terror.

When U.S. and allied forces invaded Iraq, military operations in that country also fell under the War on Terror label.


...with U.S. involvement in combat operations in Iraq winding down and military operations in Afghanistan focused more in combating the Taliban forces over control of that country, the War on Terror label seems inappropriate there, as well.

So we are going to drop the War on Terror page label, instead focusing on more specific labels, such as War in Afghanistan, Global Terrorism and Rebuilding Iraq.
