re:...they have been spoonfed is a grotesque hodgepodge of fabricated U.S. actions and statements...

Last night, I saw pieces of an interview with a former Reagan speech-writer. Interesting point he made was that because the BBC tried to be completely honest in reporting WW2 news, eventually people (even Germans, etc.) throughout the world turned to it rather than listen to the various sources of obvious propaganda.

He suggested that the same phenomenon could take place wrt the Arab states, though it will take potentially a long time to "win people over" with such honest reporting.

I hope that the coalition is considering this; and not just for the short term.
