Default Re: Helping Them Win The Propaganda War

Good points, Nicky...I am not so much raising the issue because of the specifics in the news recently but because of the overall approach to such things. I feel that the terrorists and the totalitarian governments have been winning the propaganda war lately, and to us that may seem silly or unimportant since we know better, but lots of people don't (especially those in third-world countries or Middle Eastern countries), so the impact of non-countered propaganda is quite substantial. Its effects are undesirable and are exploited greatly by both the Arab governments and the Islamic preachers. Just some thoughts. Maybe a Radio Free Middle East project, or something similar, would be a good thing, if it isn't already going or in the works.
