British Prime Minister Drops Phrase 'War on Terror'

Oh, sweet sanity. When will it reach our shores?

New British Prime Minister Brown drops 'war on terror,' redefining the fight - International Herald Tribune: "What had just been narrowly averted, he said, was not a new jihadist act of war but instead a criminal act. As if to underscore the point, Brown instructed his ministers that the phrase 'war on terror' was no longer to be used and, indeed, that officials were no longer even to employ the word 'Muslim' in connection with the terrorism crisis."

I feel a wave of relief. Finally. Could world leaders possibly be ready to quit Bush's Crusade?
