Qual é a tradução de "shooting war", como no texto abaixo?
BILLY TAYLOR reporting What brought this on? Dr. ROSENBERG I think it's the end of the cycle. I think that we have seen a abrupt change in consumer and business attitudes about the future. The Middle East undoubtedly contributed to that and we have to presuppose that, pulling out of this, that the Middle East conflict will be resolved without a shooting war. If it does, then we have to go back- into a shooting war, we have to go back to our drawing boards.

Sug.
Nos EUA usa-se muito a palavra "war" no sentido figurado: War on Drugs, etc. sem o uso de armas, necessariamente. No caso, creio que "shooting war" especifica bem o conflito com o uso de armas.
