Dehumanization and Demonization: The War Has Begun AGAIN!

by Lisa KARPOVA

Since the Great Patriotic War, the world has seen a parade of
individuals and nations who have been subject to the inane and sordid
process utilized by the empires propaganda war machine of
dehumanization and demonization: Sadaam Hussein, Manuel Noriega,
Slobodan Milosevic and now Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Of course, these tactics were utilized prior to the war, but this
writing is basically addressing more recent events. Dehumanization and
demonization employ the use of distorted images (e.g. Hitler) and loaded
wordswords that have extremely strong negative meanings.
