The War on Errorism is the ninth studio album by the American punk rock band NOFX. It was released on May 6, 2003 through Fat Wreck Chords. It was the first NOFX album to be released through Fat Wreck Chords. The album takes aim at US president George W. Bush, criticizing him and his policies. The album cover features a cartoon version of the president as a clown, while the back of the inlet / runout groove has a caption stating "Somewhere in Texas there is a village without its idiot". The song "Franco Un-American" was the first single, garnering some airplay on major radio stations in the United States.
