From the dictionary:

We did cognitive dissonance, how about

Insurgency: Rising in revolt against established authority, especially a government.

Why do the news media/talking heads/Bushies always use this term to describe the chaos in Iraq? It is completely inapplicable. For one thing, this is not a "revolt," it is armed resistance. The majority of those fighting are Sunni Muslims, who were in power before our unprovoked invasion. This is the same enemy that U.S. troops confronted on Day 1. Oh certainly they have been supplemented by foreign jihadists and others with similar ideological motivations, but make no mistake, these are local fighters engaged in what they see as self-defense. That makes them very dangerous.

On the second part--"established authority?" Please, that doesn't even pass the giggle test. Representatives selected in a sham election imposed by force of arms and conducted at gunpoint haggling over a "constitution" inside a U.S.-protected "Green Zone" while outside the country lurches toward civil war. And a "government?" The only "governing" authority in country is based on 130,000 brave Americans being abused by their government.
