“You can’t have a war on terrorism because that’s not an actual enemy, it’s an abstract. It’s like having a war on dandruff.
That war will be eternal and pointless. It’s idiotic.
That’s not a war, it’s a slogan. It’s a lie.
It’s advertising, which is the only art form we ever invented in America.
And we use it to sell soap, war and presidential candidates in the same fashion.”

~Gore Vidal
