The last two cartoons on Aljazeera show the Statue of Liberty: one with the face of George Bush, who is pulling the rope on Saddam Hussein; the other show the Statue of Liberty cowering before Kim Jong Il who has a nuclear missile in his hand maybe cocked like a football either for a pass or a handoff. Based on the psychological warfare model: why not print up 10 million postcards of the Statue of Liberty and the reverse side write the word HOPE in Arabic. Some percentage of Jihadist recruit among the frustrated who want electricity, education, economics. Obviously the postcard is abstract; we need the concrete ability to employ the Iraqis in jobs that build their country. Kilcullen is right we are losing the war at the Internet level.
