Bush launches magazine to teach young Arabs to love America
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
18 July 2003


So what if George Bush is threatening to invade your country? At least the kids in America have nice, white teeth and listen to the same music as you. Isn't that enough for you to love the good 'ol US of A?

That, at least, appears to be the message of a glossy new magazine published by the Bush administration and going on sale across the Middle East this week, targeting young people with a mix of features, celebrity profiles and music. The Arabic-language Hi magazine is US propaganda 2003-style. "We're fighting a war of ideas as much as a war on terror," said Tucker Eskew, director of the White House's Office of Global Communications.

3. Is that sick or what? Would that make you mad if you were a
fundamentalist and didn't want American propoganda influencing your youth?

Do they actually think they are going to have any converts with this?

It's all based on lies...so I see no good outcome.

Can't they give it away? They admit it's propaganda.

5. PR is useless, if we don't stop invading their countries
as a solution to all their problems, and if we don't address the Palestinian issue. It is a waste of damn time.

6. This is humanitarian aid.
It will be very good for toilet paper.
