 :Further Comment - While ""War on Terror"" certainly seems more broad on the face of it (obviously), this is what the terminology was, and therefore is.  Bush declared a ""global war on terror"", not a ""global war on terrorism"".  It's not for us to decide later, because it happened, and it's very provable. There should be one focused article for the ""War on Terror"" (or, better yet, the ""Global War on Terror"") as the Bush administration implemented following 9/11.  If WP must have a ""War on Terrorism"" article also, I think it should be separate from ""War on Terror"" as defined.   "
