Perhaps it's bad taste to acronymise something like this, but:
WAR When America Retaliates/Will America Retaliate?
(Not meaning to imply that a war would be America's fault for retaliating)
Wastage All 'Round :(
WORLD TRADE CENTER: Was Osama Responsible? Lost Due To Runaway Aeroplanes - Death Everywhere. Can Everyone Near Terrorists Expect Revenge?

Perhaps it's bad taste to acronymise something like this, but:
Angela, I'm an AMERICAN and I have no objection, so nobody should.
WAR When America Retaliates/Will America Retaliate?
(Not meaning to imply that a war would be America's fault for retaliating)
If America realiates against bin Laden or whoever is responsible for this most heinous act, that's a war...strike, counterstrike. That's all there is to war. So yes, there would be a war.
Wastage All 'Round :(
True...horrid, quite horrid.
WORLD TRADE CENTER: Was Osama Responsible? Lost Due To Runaway Aeroplanes - Death Everywhere. Can Everyone Near Terrorists Expect Revenge?
A most astounding acronym...describes the WTC situation as good as Dan Rather (CBS network newscaster, FYI) does.
WTC--War? Terrorism? Crime? (given the lack of a proper term to describe the September 11, 2001, tragedy in New York City, resulting in the destruction of the World Trade Center)

And then I said:
I realised that. I put in that disclaimer of sorts because I thought some people might react by saying that the plane crashes were already an act of war, so the WAR wouldn't start by America retaliating.
Jeff also said:

So I said: Thanks.
Your WTC acronym and accompanying explanation were good too, if an acronym on this topic can be good.

Thank you.
ASTOUNDING
Acronym Seems Totally Outstanding, Using No "Dictionary Invading" Neologisms - Great

I think it's now time to do ......
OSAMA BIN LADEN
One Saudi Arabian Masterminded Airplane Blitz In Newyork - Leaving Afghanistan Bombed Every Night
-
Good one, Tony... I think it's also time to do ANTHRAX:
A New Terror Has Reached America... [a] Xenobiotic.

Good one, excellent handling of the 'x'. I had been working on....
And Now The Human Race ... Aaaaaarrrrggghh... Xpires

Thank you... but what other kind of handling could there be of an X but X-ellent?
I had been working on....
And Now The Human Race ... Aaaaaarrrrggghh... Xpires
CHUCKLE! Crudely Hilarious Undertaking... Comically Killer Little Expansion!
I liked the Aaaaaarrrrggghh, although it's not one of the spellings of aarrghh which is an allowable Scrabble word. :^D

"Aaaaaarrrrggghh" is the plural of "Aarrghh"!
PLURAL
Painfully Loud Ululating, Repeated A Lot!

I've just discovered I wrote another ANTHRAX acronym, but didn't post it. It was written when only one person had died of anthrax in the USA but the whole world was paranoid about it:
And Not Two Heads Rolled - All Xaggeration!

Bin Laben? Perhaps it needs to be Afghanis Dying Every Night.

I just realised I hadn't posted this one:
WARFARE - We Are Ready For A Rapid Exit.
(Exit can be taken two ways!)
Also, I was working on one for TALIBAN, but as it stands I don't like it very much - any suggestions?
Terrorists Are Liked In BigBrother-esque Administration of Nation.

The Afghani Leadership Is Biased Against Nonmales
Thugs And Louts In Bourkhas - America's Nemesis
They Abandoned Learning Islam - Began Attacking Neighbours.
(This is in reference to the origins of the Taliban, religious students who went to fight the Russian invaders)

I think I prefer "Letting America Drop Explosives Nightly"

Very good Taliban expansions - they didn't quite make it into the issue of The Acronym Times I just sent out. I guess they'll get more attention in the next, smaller, issue.
