That's a reasonable argument. At least a majority of the people should agree. This is re-branding a war after all.
A quick database query shows that there are 17 users who have posts under the "War on Terrorism" topic, and a large number of posts:

I don't have a problem with creating a new topic. But I am interested in feedback and general opinion about re-branding the "War on Terrorism" to "The Long War".
I would probably add a "War in Iraq" topic and break the topics into appropriately separate sections. Also, just because the administration keeps trying to find new ways to sell this fiasco doesn't mean it's any different than it was when this started. The old name works fine even if they do want to call it something else.
