What's a 6-letter word for 'unnecessary war"?

[calmblueocean]

I was looking at this photo over at freewayblogger.blogspot.com and wondered what DU's answers would be:



I get the feeling it's just meant to make the viewer think for a moment about 'unnecessary war' ("Quagmire? No, wait, that has 8 letters...") and associate those thoughts with Iraq. But maybe I'm just too darn dumb to realize what 6 letter word perfectly answers the question. What do you think?

[Extend a Hand]

1. fuckup

2. Cheney

What is unnecessary war if not murder? I wonder if this is what the freewayblogger meant.

N D L E S S

[land of the free]

25. seems I can't count. Can I be President?

perhaps a better suggestion is "unjust". That's six letters, right?

Time for me to go to bed. Gnite, all.

[Radio_Lady]

47. NEXT DAY: Welcome to the DU, land of the free. Hope you slept well.

Frankly, who would want to be president? A killer job for anyone. But surely there's someone better than this creep-a-zoid! Let's keep looking from among the potential candidates.

Meanwhile, we have other races in 2006 to win first!

In peace,

HORROR!


THE HORROR OF WAR
The horror of war affects young and old.

The horror of war kills parents.

The horror of war leaves orphans screaming in the night, covered in their mother's blood.

The horror of war leaves scars on soldiers who have to kill innocents because to do otherwise might open themselves up to the risk of death.

That is the horror of war.
