war on 'terra'......Terra is Latin for earth... so W is fighting

[bobbieinok]

'the earth'

can be understood as W's war against the environment

or as W's war against everyone on earth

2. I remember in Star Trek...

...humans were sometimes referred to as Terrans. Once this solar system was referred to as The Terran System.

5. Hmm. good point.

Good to see another latin "loqutor". Heh heh.

I have to say it - just because I used to teach latin - the word terror comes from the latin verb "terror" (terrere) which means to frighten.
