Torture, where do we go from here

Sell the idea of peace and prosperity: Education information knowledge democracy freedom

Propaganda
Smother Iraq with locally targeted propaganda, brochures, leaflets, videos, radio, TV; tell them how it is—honestly. Show the torture pictures, tell them this is unacceptable and it means those involved will probably go to jail, the victims financially compensated and counselled by premier New York and Californian shrinks. The Iraqi people have been children, now they have to grow up fast!

This is the rightness of America.

Truth, justice...
We want out but have to ensure peace and calm as is our responsibility as conquering forces. We want nothing more than peace, democracy and tolerance. Sure we are a majority Christian army and nation, but we have always tolerated other religions, cultures and creeds. Blah, blah... American way... blah, blah. we'll need to educate about democracy, judicary and the quest for the truth; they don't know about these values

Show pictures of Saddams gaols, show recreated pictures, fill a half of a newspaper with them. There's plenty of local stories, illustrate them, remind of millions of victims not hundreds and was part of the reason for coming and educate about why we came.

Stories
There's so many stories to tell. There's so much that they, as a democratic nation, can do in the area. Sell them the propaganda. Make what they'll be like if they could raise their standard of living, get houses in neigbourhoods done out like the TV programme Garden Force. One of the most media savvy nations on the face of this earth and the US doesn't know how to sell a concept of peace and harmony. Show them dubbed Friends. (It's addictive you know.)

Deeds
Explain religious tolerance; illustrate with 9/11 and how strange war is. Let's show how idiotic this is. Take the religion out. We could knock down the gaols and rebuild mosques to prove how religiously agnostic and supportive we are. Your happiness is our mission, now.
