Title

The title "war on terrorism" is clearly POV, seeing that "terrorism" is an ideological word. If thousands are killed by bombs, it is called "terrorism" if it is the work of a political group who is not in charge of a state. If an elected government does the same, especially from the air, this is called something else. 86.201.150.149 (talk) 15:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it seems that the title "war on terrorism" is a bit slanted. I was hoping that wikipedia always would be totaly neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.134.90.130 (talk) 08:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The title of this article is most inappropriate. In fact the phrase "War on Terror" is nothing short of stupid. It's used by Bush and the like as though it's a real war. He once referred to "the war" as one would refer to the Second World War. The phrase is not now used by the British Government, for obvious reasons. I vote to rename this article, perhaps "Terrorism in Pakistan". 86.31.35.135 (talk) 15:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
