NEEDED: A NAME FOR THE BAD GUYS
Self | Kezekiel

Posted on 12/27/2001 7:12:27 AM PST by kezekiel

Freepers, we have a problem: Our enemy has no nickname.

In each of America's significant wars, we've given nicknames to the enemy: Redcoats, Johnny Reb, Billy Yank, Krauts, Japs, Charlie, etc... the Militant Islamic Terrorist needs one now!

Remember, our enemy has no common ethnicity or nationality. He speaks many different languages. The term should be as applicable to Johnny Jihad Walker as to Osama and Omar.

I love how the Afghans called Al Qaeda "the Tourists." That's the spirit. Get creative, Freepers, we're making history!

Y'all know that goon who got on the plane over the weekend with his shoes full of C3? A local talk-show host has dubbed him Nike Air Jihad Man.

How about "Diaper Heads", "Rag Hags", "Rag Drags" or "Talijerks". Okay, okay ... these names sound like school yard jeers.

But...they're SUPPOSED to sound like schoolyard jeers. The name is SUPPOSED to be offensive, degrading, etc. Seriously, it's part of how humans deal with enemies: by dehumanizing them with degrading labels, it becomes easier to kill them.

I'd bet that our fine fighting men and women (Women? Grrrr!) have an appropriate name for these clowns, and I'd bet it's closer to "diaperheads" than to "Terrorist-Americans" as the PC crowd would undoubtedly prefer it.

Uniformed children stand in units named after guerrillas killed fighting Israel as part of Hizbollah's Jerusalem day rally December 14, 2001 in Beirut. The head of Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrilla group urged Palestinians to launch more suicide bomb attacks on Israelis and defy U.S.-led demands to crack down on 'terrorist' militant groups.
