On a more serious note, then I do not think its a war based on religion, so calling it a "crusade" etc. is not correct. This war is more based on ideology - not whos "God" is the correct "God". I think the term World War is more fitting than "crusade" simply because of the area this war takes place in, and the number nations and humans involved.
Personally I like "the war on terror" title, because it gets to the core of the problem, and do not scare this shit out of normal people :-) ("world war 3" has sort of a doomsday ring to it).

I agree Rolo, but it also depends on who's perspective you are considering. From the arab
POV this is religious war, because their leaders tell them it is. Religion and politics
have had the same purpose for the last 10,000+ years... for the few to control the many.
Both are used for maintaining power.
