War & politics: Sept 11th, bin Laden, Middle East news, from my own perspective.
Torture, where do we go from here
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.
