An animated advertisement over at GameSpot caught my attention (and I'm totally playing into it by blogging it):

Great leaders use words to resolve conflicts:

Words like 'carpet bombing' and 'Scud launcher'.

Command & Conquer Generals, available now.

I suppose as a great leader you're supposed to be saying, "I am ordering an immediate carpet bombing of those Scud launchers," but I had to think twice. I gather that C&C Generals lets you play as the U.S., China, or a fictional terrorist organization, so I guess the last one would let you use Scuds and would congratulate you on your success. I've always wondered if war games set in real wars or based on real countries and real conflicts are at all controversial for being so...
