Those are some confusing to read Posts.

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.

Semantics has nothing to to with softness or cuddliness. It has everthing to do with semantics. They say aggressor for (wrong) reasons.

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

Yes it is. It is the ignorance of the people using such terms that causes this. They do not see the whole picture; they do not know what they are talking about. They are ignorant of the whole situation. This is why they brand the US as evil.

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

So ignorance does indeed have to do with it. Why did you just say ignorance has nothing to do with it?
