It was changed due to cultural sensitivites.  Only Allah is capable of infinite justice.  One interesting quote from this source (Naval War College Review, Autumn 2002, Vol. LV, No. 4) says,

Western public diplomacy in the Middle East also entails great care in uncharted waters. As an Oxford University social linguist, Clive Holes, has pointed out, the linguistic genius who thought up the original name for the campaign to oust the Taliban, "Operation INFINITE JUSTICE," did a major disservice to the Western goal. The expression was literally and accurately translated into Arabic as adala ghayr mutanahiya connoting an earthly power arrogating to itself the task of divine retribution. Likewise, President George W. Bush's inadvertent and unscripted use of the word crusade gave al-Qa`ida spokesmen--and many others--an opportunity to attack the intentions of Bush and the West.

On another topic, I'm reviewing a PO novel for an old friend.  You would appreciate his treatment (albeit only one  scenario among many possible) of how our very complex, JIT system might unravel when the BTU's / day drop below some critical threshold.

What is that threshold?  How severe will the positive feedback be as one broken economic connection (JIT gloabl parts delivery to a small business, e.g.) causes 2 or more new ruptures, and so on?  Will it look like a slumping process (slow) or a brittle fracturing event (rapid)?

I suppose that the answer to the last is based on one's vantage point.  Also, I'm convinced by WT that the depltion rate, as measured by net exports, will have a strong bearing on the rate of de-complexification (sheesh, what a word!).

Either I wasn't clear enough, or you take me too literally. The message I was trying to convey is that the naming of Yergin's three energy scenarios is just as BAD as the Pentagon's naming of it's various operations in Iraq and Afganistan.  For some time now, I've been quite amused (and disturbed) by how surreal these names have become.
