"In your opinion, how could we present truth and justice there in a way that is palatable? Are you speaking of couching things more in terms of the justice meted out by God, for instance, rather than relying on their sense of nationalism?"

The truth isn't always easy to swallow especially when it is about you and it is brought by the enemy of your folk. But people who have ears to hear, generally respect it most when it is not dressed up. The Terrorists have murdered many innocent people in their own land as well as here. The citizens of Pakistan and Afghanistan are watching the news put out from the gulf broadcasters, which is not putting us in a positive light, and is hardly mentioning the deaths of innocent Americans or the deaths of innocents on the Eastern hemisphere at the hands of the terrorists. This needs to happen and we have influence over the gulf broadcasting stations. We should use it.

The people on the Eastern Hemisphere are well versed on our uneven hand in dealing with things that involve oil and our hypocrisy at supporting some despot dictators as long as we are getting a good deal in the gulf. That is a truth the street people here need to start addressing if we ever expect any credibility in delivering hard facts to the Asians about their associations.

There is Peace in Justice and we generally know when we have it as apposed to things like oppression, vengeance, tyranny and such. In this case Justice will be dealt when the threat of terrorism is defeated. When we take one inch beyond that we become the Unjust.
