1. Words inable humans to do actions that most would never do because words manipulate them into believing their actions are justified.

2. While I don't think she attributes too much to the power of words, I didn't think she addressed that whose mouth the words are coming out of are just as important as the actual words.

3.I think this essay is about the interaction of language and war. She is dealing with how both affect the other and thus I don't think you can't say one is being primarily spoken about.

4. No I don't think she is exaggerating, words are the easiest way to distance yourself from another person and once you accept them as true you no longer have sympathy for them.

5. Of course Americans fall victim to the power of words by our enemies. Both sides have to over come the idea that killing is bad no matter what and words are the easiest way to make that transition.
