Iraq as "Occupation" NOT "War"

George Lakoff has written a very interesting article explaining why Democrats have fallen into the Republican's language trap, reinforcing the idea of Iraq as a "war" and part of the war on terror. Lakoff stresses the need for reframing Iraq as the "occupation" that it really is. He gives a compelling explanation, and it is a quick read. Find it on the Rockridge Institute website here.
