A Trick of Language

Again the whole trick of the thing is our use of language. The media has given us the term 'refugees' for the mostly young male Moslems that will be arriving from Syria. In other more astute and less 'tolerant' and 'guilt ridden' and 'less compassionate' times the news would have called them perhaps 'invaders'? Do we really think that the Greeks invading Troy by hanging the word "INVADERS" around the gift-horse's neck? I do believe that the Trojans were led to believe this was a gift.
