The issue of perceptions is taken up on other threads today. The priorities as I see it include blacking out al-jazeera and the other malignant TV stations that spew this intifada crap 24/7. You can't put out a fire if you allow the scabs to keep pouring gasoline on it...

I would tend to agree, but maybe that's not the way to go. I think "spreading democracy" is a fool's errand in the middle east. Spreading "liberty," however, is something worthwhile....they are not identical.

If Iraqi's were safe enough that they could broadcast their own version of "FNC" without fear of retribution or their families being kidnapped, I think they might be able to lift themselves out of Islamahell.

I think there needs to be an environment where "Ali Limbali" actually can start a talk radio show and debunk all the Islamofascist garbage.

If we enable a Islamodemocracy where the aggressive "insurgents" can play government if they choose, I'm not sure anything changes.
