War on terror

I’m glad the government is dumping use of the preposterous term “war on terror.” The term never made any sense. The Australian government joined the US to invade Iraq and create an enormous sense of terror amongst many Iraqi civilians. Both countries made stellar efforts to make many of their own Muslim citizens feel terrified. These events inspired further violent attacks by extremist groups throughout the world. The way events were spoken about and reported created a further sense of terror amongst voters, which politicians repeatedly reinforced.

This was not really a war on terror, but a war in support of it.
