We, the United States, call it "the War on terror"
however, this war has been going on longer then we've been a country. Israel might call it something different than the Syrians, Iraqis, or the Iranians, but it's more of a religious war.
Bring on the thumbs down, but before you click the button, try opening up a history book and stop listening to the media to spoon feed you incorrect knowledge.

The War on Terror. Other countries are, and were, fighting the same War on Terror. Some idiots in other countries think they're fighting for Americans. It's the War on Global Terror.

"Operation Iraqi Freedom", or as Bush likes to call it, "Mission Accomplished". (America is very fond of euphemism and propaganda).
