While it seems 9% of the Web* is deciding whether or not to publish the now-ineffective (except for disks already published) HD DVD key (with Wikipedia facing an interesting question), John Edwards has stopped using the phrase “global war on terror” because it frames the task improperly. Good for him. There are other ways to fight than through “war,” and the war framing throws off our focus, thus putting us at greater risk. Imo. I believe that every Democratic candidate will make us safer from terrorism than this administration has, because they’ll address our true vulnerabilities and will work towards making the world less hospitable to the growth and maintenance of terrorist organizations. (Edwards is criticized in the story at RawSugar because until recently he did use the phrase, or ones like it. So, he’s learning. OTOH, I am a volunteer to the campaign, so I am biased.)
