Remember when they attack us, they're "terrorists." When we attack them it's called "anti-terrorism" or "counter-terrorism". When their own citizens fight back they're called "insurgents" and they are "destablizing" the region. When the US fights back it's called "stablizing" the region. And the innocent families we displace/flee are "evacuees" or "refugees." When they democratically elect someone they are a "brutal dictator". When we force them to pick our candidate it's an "election" and a sign of successful "democracy."

When US oil and construction companies move in we are in the process of "rebuilding." Once we have total control they have been "liberated."

All this is an effort to dehumanize the people we invade and to win popular support with the US citizens.
