Warspeak: Linguistic Collateral Damage

""Demonizing" the enemy is an important part of any struggle that seeks a willing coalition to back it. Referring to the enemy as "a regime," part of an "axis," or even "big-spending liberals" or "fat cats" is just lexical wordfire in some struggle between members of the species that possesses language. Just keep your head down and well-informed and warspeak will bounce off you like bullets off Superman."
