	The JPost : Naming a War
		What Americans now call the Civil War was once commonly spoken of in the South as "The War Between the States." Even the names of battles are disputed, with Southerners naming battles after nearest town, Northerners after the nearest river.
		So naming the war the "Al-Aqsa Intifada" has proved a Palestinian stroke of genius, with its adoption by much of the Western press helping to cast the conflict internationally on Yasser Arafat's terms while hampering Israel's efforts to conduct its side of the war.
		Two years into it, at least some of us can agree that it must be called a "war," and not go by such weak euphemisms as "the violence," "the conflict," or "the situation." Beyond that, as these short essays from prominent Jews (and one Palestinian) in Israel and abroad show, there is scant agreement.
