Pursuing a group of militant religious fundamentalists training in the mountains of Wyoming, the Afghan army topples the U.S. government and sends armed patrols to police every American town and city. 9 years later, the Afghans are shocked and frustrated that the American population has yet to accept their presence with quiet gratitude.
I'm sure that conservative voters everywhere who implicitly support the "war on terror" and its assumptions would find this a perfectly reasonable scenario. {/end heavy sarcasm}.
Or how about this. The Iraqi government at some future point decides that the US government - run by lobbyists and giant corporations as opposed to The People as it is - lacks democracy and requires regime change. I'm sure the US population wouldn't mind being shocked and awed back into real democracy and having the country bombed into a depleted-uranium-enriched wasteland. Collateral damage of spreading "freedom"!

But yes it's sickening how our gleichgeschaltete media keep using Orwellian language to support the "war on terror".
