The phrase "war on terror" is used as a category title because it is familiar and meaningful to readers.

But the general appropriateness of the phrase and its variants is disputed for several reasons. "Terrorism" is not an enemy, but rather a tactic. Thus the expression can lead to obscurity and may be biased in itself. For more information, see Criticisms of War on Terrorism.
