Name Contest for the 2006 Israeli War

Now that the higher ups have finally agreed the summer "conflict" was, in fact, a war, the race is on to find a good name for it. YeshivaWorld gives us the scoop on some of the favorites:

Many names have been suggested to the committee, including: War of the North, Shield of the North War, The Second Lebanon War, Peace for the North War, War of the Captives, Operation Homeland Defense, and The War to Return the Captives.


War of the North? Were you guys fighting Caribou? And "Peace for the North War" is about as 1984-speak as calling the first foray into Lebanon, "Operation Peace in the Galilee".

Also, if I were them, I would avoid calling to attention to the whole "captives" thing, especially since they still haven't gotten them back.
