Radical proposition
Let's eradicate the word "terrorist" from the English language. Let's force people to think about what they say. To at least come up with labels that have a little bit of meaning. Who's with me?

3. I'd rather eradicate the word "evil-doers"
from the Republican lexicon. Makes it sound like we're in a holy war again. For that matter, "Crusade" need to go as well. Boy, that gaffe sure pissed off a lot of Muslims. (A gaffe that got quickly buried by the media, I might add)

4. Now that Bush's Secretary of Education has referred to the National...

...Association of Teachers as "a terrorist organization," I'd say the word has lost all meaning. So by all means, let's get rid of it!
