???I don't know if posting these "new post alerts" here does any good but here it goes...
I know it is a Tuesday....
(I had annonced on my blog that I would not be writing on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends)
...but I just had to follow up on a discussion I had in the P&M chat last night about the difference between using the word "war" as opposed to "occupation" when talking about what we are doing in Iraq. Semantics plays a big role when a government uses propaganda to sway the thinking and the beliefs of its citizens. The Sematics of propaganda and the Bush speech is the focus of my post today.
