U.S. Needs New World Image

Scholars on terrorism and al Qaeda told the independent commission studying the Sept. 11 attacks that the United States badly needs an image makeover in the eyes of the world.

"Although we are winning the war against the organization called al Qaeda, we seem to be losing the cultural war," said Mamoun Fandy, senior fellow at the United States Institute of Peace.

It's been like this since Bush executed The Coup of 2000. Why hasn't the American media reported these facts over the past 2 years? A Special Investigator is needed to uncover the racketeering between the GOP, NSA and the American media.

1. No, we need a new leader

I think the world will come around when we
finally get an elected President who can put
sentences together, know when to shut up
and sees the larger picture of working with
the rest of the world.

7. Terrorism will continue until bush Jailed

Bush needs terrorism to cover his arse. Without terrorism, he's dead in the water. Bush and the Repug's can't let the terrorist threat subside, if they do, they lose. Terrorism likely will continue for the sake of Bush's political life and for the political goals of the repukes. I think this is included in the strategy of these fascist thugs to manufacture incidents Northwoods style, if it must come to that.

3. newsflash: problem is not with "image"

But rather, with action. Five decades (and not just since "BFEE" took over as the revisionists will claim) of constant aggressions and arrogance tends to blacken ones reputation, no matter how perfect your spindoctors are.

4. I like your post...

reminds me of how Naomi Klein once replied to a politician: "You don't have a problem with communication, you have a problem with reality!"
Greetings from Germany,
