Well, John...I don't view it as OT. Foreign Affairs are certainly something we are all going to have to live with, or die from, because of. How and what people think, and why they think it is important. As an aside, one just has to wonder what some of the terrorists were "taught"....those who planned and implemented 9-11, and were educated in the US... I'm mindful of a teacher I had long ago in HS...Probably what would have been deemed an Honors Course today. She taught in the Far East for years before WWII. I didn't need it for credit, but took it because I would learn. It was a year long World History class, BUT we had to take a quarter of Propaganda from her before she would teach the class. We LEARNED about propaganda!! Actively, every day. We each took a newspaper, and had to be prepared each day to discuss the front page major stories. We took different papers. The class also had 20 major papers (NYT, LAT, WPO, Denver Post, SFO, Chicago Tribune, CSM, etc. delivered every day. A lot was learned about propaganda from those papers. Each sentence, each paragraph, adjectives, by-line or no by-lines....as well as how, or even if, the major papers put what stories on their front pages. If not, we had to see who buried it, and ask why? Funny thing, we NEVER knew her political opinions.
