For example, the Gillette War on Terror, or The Long War sponsored by Ford (built to last!), or The Overseas Contingency Operation, sponsored by Virgin Atlantic (whether you're flying overseas or fighting overseas, book your flight with Virgin!). Just a thought.

Well given that we just had the first organized western tour group here in Baghdad, I can see what you propose happening. Besides who needs a Fujji or Goodyear blimp when we have aerostats with advertising space just going to waste..
