Maybe it's a little like the islamist re-defining the world as all being in a state of Dar Al-Harb (land of the unbeliever). Thus excusing their ability to kill whoever they want whenever they like.

Now George has re-defined the whole world as Al-Qaeda cos you're either with us or you're against the terrorists .....uh... I mean won't get fooled again.
