Search is your friend.

And I love it so. I did a "quick search" and this piece didn't turn up, meaning that it hadn't appeared on FR recently. I think it's reasonable to repost things that are still timely but buried in the archives and not likely to be encountered unless one knows they're there and goes digging.

Very interesting and good to know if your facing a standing Arab army. But it seems that asymmetrical warfare is the order of the day.Too bad they don't fight their jihad with armored divisions.

Now I'd like ti see the author do a paper on why the United States is so inept in the public relations front and is seemingly unable able to counter the likes of Al-Jezeera and other Arab and European propaganda mills

The juxtaposition of your posting with the prior poster's BTTT
is quite amusing in its irony.

That's easy. The traditional media is run by people who basically hate America and everything that makes it special. So they lie about the war. There is nothing that we can do on that PR front to win. Only with the new PR front of the Internet, talk radio(and Fox News) can we finally get around our enemies in the traditional media.

If the fanatical Arab goal is not to defeat other nations militarily, but to send the world back to the dark ages, then a black-market purchased nuke detonated in NYC or Wash DC will do just fine.

I'd love to see a follow up to this article that took into account events in Afghanistan and Iraq, including the election processes and fighting.

That's precisely my point - why is America conceding the propaganda war to America-haters? Why the surrender? I's truly welcome an explanation.
