I have this posted at my website, but i also wanted to float this idea here to take America's temperature, so to speak.
I have been hearing so much about how Americans in general have "forgotten" the tragedy of 9/11.
Rush Limbaugh has mentioned several times that we are a "visual society"--we react stronger to pictures than just words.
For example, all the negative images coming out of Vietnam went against any good news from the warfront at the time.
The same is happening now in Iraq: there ARE good things happening there, but not only are they NOT getting reported, we are daily bombarded with negative video of IED's exploding or our soldiers' dead bodies getting carted off or something.
The President is having to fight through all that because the media has a strangle-hold on how this war is portrayed. Hence the seeming lack-of-support for the war (I know about some polls saying 60% want us to stay the course--you know what I'm getting at).
With all this in mind, why not do an "end-run" around the media and use a multi-media presentation to remind America why this war on terror is necessary, why we are in Iraq and why our troops (and their Commander-in-chief) need our support.
If I did my HTML correctly, you should see a picture of what I am talking about below. For those of you who saw "Glenn Beck on Ice", you're familiar with the setup that I am talking about.
Any and all comments are welcome.
