Recently, the US Administration has modified the whole frame on which it based US actions after 9/11. The phrase "War On Terror" has been retired, and replaced by "Global struggle against violent extremism".
In this article, George Lakoff explores the background behind this change, explains why the change has occurred, and reminds us that if the administration is acknowledging that war is not the answer to terrorism, we ought to be continuing to ask why the US is still bogged down in Iraq, fighting what looks remarkably like a war.
