The New Orwellian Dictionary

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has nothing better to do with his time than think of new words for the New World Order lexicon. Change the language and the way people view the world changes. There is a fundamental flaw in the Rumsfeldian logic, though: semantics does not change reality. Whether our enemies in Iraq are insurgents, are terrorists, or are freedom fighters, it all depends on perspective. What does not depend on perspective is that the Iraq war is a war based on false premises, is bankrupting our nation, and is killing young Americans to prove a point: that the Bush Administration is infallible. Rumsfeld, therefore, can call our enemies whatever he will, but reality stands. The Iraq war is unwinnable as the Bush Administration prosecutes it and, as such, is an endeavor in foolishness.
