Just because the word has been associated with terrorists in the past year doesn't mean it won't be used anymore.
What about the nuclear explosion in Japan? (I think it was Japan)
People that were affected by that have gotten on with their lives and they don't go ape everytime someone mentions anything remotly similar to do with what happened.
And a few days back the plane crase in Ukraine where a fighter jet in an air show crashed into the crowed killing 63 people.
The people who survived arn't going to go and get all mad and upset if they see a plane in a game are they?

Your points are way differant. The nuke was what, 50 years ago? I'm sure the Japanese didn't wouldn't want to see that much nukes in games for a few years...
Jets are common things, not meant for killing. Anthrax isn't common, and is meant for killing.
I also think it's stupid to take anthrax out, it's just like any other weapon or poisen. But, if people are offended by it, it won't hurt us to rename it. Really, what do you care if they change the name of the anthrax to plague? If it offends people, may as well change it.
