Things are so crazy that that everything is being turned on its head and George Bush and the USA is being portrayed as the evil aggressor nation instead of Iraq.

Well if we go to war, the US will be the aggressor. The aggressor is the one that is attacking, after all. Just pure semantics. The "evil" part is based off of ignorance though.

No, it is not just semantics. The term "Aggressor" is not soft and cuddly which is why it is being used. And many people associate aggressiveness with some form of evilness.

And ignorance is also not the issue. Once you are tagged with being "evil", it takes a lot of work to change it.

And unfortunately, ignorance can promote the association of "evil" with the current Bush administration and Americans in general.
