"This mind war as you call it will rise so high on the wings of the internet that I do not think anyone has any idea yet the effect it will have on those who engage in what is sure to come.
We are already blasting each other with images (which can be altered) video, and websites that reside not only here but all over the world, and that are run by people who hold an ideological position."


That's true.

I would imagine that their side will probably be scouring the internet looking for messages made by Americans that are negative about America and will copy those messages and show them to their people as evidence that even Americans are against America.

I would imagine that they will have or already have people join message boards to propagandacise their viewpoints.

I would imagine that they will have or already have people searching the internet looking for messages from soldiers or family or neighbors or friends of soldiers hoping to find some information that will be useful.

I am sure that they will use the internet to communicate amongst themselves.

In all times of strife there was always the caution that people need to be careful what they say, now with the internet, people also need to be careful what they write.

It's easy to forget that what is written on any given thread isn't in a closed room with the "conversation" going no further than "these four walls".

The internet is open to everyone and anyone.

As far as your fears go. Having fears about certain things is normal, but don't let your fears get out of hand.
Always remember---
"Things are usually never as bad as they seem at first, nor as good". (I don't know who wrote that).

Until everyone knows what is going on, as far as where we're going and where we're not going with our response, don't let your imagination run away from you. As the farmers say-It gets the cows off their milk.
