Name That War

NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF of New York Times has been disconcerted by the lack of a good name for the current conflict in Iraq and, as you would, offered the lofty prize of a Iraqi 250-dinar note with Saddam's picture for the best name.

There are so many good entries

"The War That Cried Wolfowitz."
"Mother of Oil Wars."
"Mission Implausible: A Job Well Spun"
"The Empire Strikes Out,"

But the winners, each receiving one on the said notes, were:

"Dubya Dubya III" - Brad Corsello, New York
"Rolling Blunder" - Richard Sanders
"Desert Slog" - John Fell, California
"Blood, Baath and Beyond." - Willard Oriol, New York

but my favourite of the winners was

"Mess in Potamia" by Will Hutchinson of Vermont.
