To Be Written

 * neoconservative projects:
 * the war on science
 * the war on competence (a Bush II administration house special)
 * The fervor of religion-based anti-gay fervor might be termed a war on homosexuality (move the actively belligerent stuff from religion vs. homosexuality)
 * the war on rationality – cf. Al Gore's The Assault on Reason
 * the war on drugs, which only made things worse and may have served primarily as a funding vehicle for secret projects
