Oh, I get it.
Attention everyone! Attention!
The new fad on the EE Board:
NON-NEWS
:a_hit:
Labeling somebody's post as non-news is the new censorship.
Kind of like not buying Dixie Chicks albums is the new censorship...
Seriously, how is this worthy of discussion? You've mentioned several times that it is important to note that our enemies our paying attention to what we say... ok... why is that important? What should we do about it, etc....
Again, I don't really care what Ahmadinedjad's analysis of our domestic politics really is. I care more about what tak's own opinions are, and why, then I care about some foreign enemy's opinions.
Remember, the terrorists were excited about 9/11 -- they thought it was great. And what happened to them immediately after? Their base of operations was destroyed, finances squeezed, and they were sent scattered to the winds. Oops... looks like they weren't particularly astute at gauging American response. So, now all of the sudden they've become experts at American foreign policy?
I could also point out they were ecstatic about the Iraq invasion. They believed that it would allow them to regroup and help them regain their street cred after they were so thoroughly whipped in Afghanistan. Does this mean we should have listened to them then? Again, my answer is no. In this case, I think they were partially correct, and they may be partially correct again regarding the Democrats... however, we don't base our decisions on their analysis. We base our decisions on our own analysis.
So, exactly why is it important to listen to their propaganda? The only thing I can think of is so that we know where to focus our own propaganda... but no one has made that point.

And because the rest of the world is listening to it, UTJ.
Having been in the region, you well know that the latest pronouncements from the top religious leaders are the major headlines in their papers every day. It affects the region's perception of us. In the case of Iran, this is doubly true and you know it.
This is a lost cause. Our image is in a shambles and was so well before 9-11.
This will not change until "the Arab Street" seems some tangible evidence if objectivity in the region.
So, let's ignore a pronouncement by the religious leader of Iran. It's non-news. Takes up space on an open forum.
Disregard this whole thread. It's non-news.
