Try abiding by the-rule-of-law.
Stop using weapons of mass destruction - cluster bombs,

As anti-American feelings grow, U.S. looks to PR

By Michelle Orris

WASHINGTON BUREAU

Sunday, August 3, 2003

WASHINGTON -- With anti-American sentiment rising worldwide, Bush administration officials say they are stepping up efforts to market America throughout the world.
Polls indicate that international opinion of the United States has plummeted in the last year, and worldwide sympathy for America after the Sept. 11 attacks has all but dissipated.

The Bush administration spent more than $70 million after the attacks to expand broadcasts of U.S.-sponsored international news services, but such expenditures have returned to previous levels, and critics say they aren't enough to counter the growing tide of anti-American sentiment.
Harold Pachios, a member of the congressional Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy since the Clinton administration, said new strategies such as a U.S.-based Mideast TV network are in the works, however, and more funding for diplomacy is expected to come.

A 2003 Pew Research Center study found that international opinion of the United States has fallen significantly in the past year. In only seven of the 49 nations polled did a majority of respondents say they have a favorable opinion of the United States, echoing a drop in worldwide support for American efforts to fight terrorism after U.S. troops invaded Iraq. A majority of people in seven out of the eight Muslim countries polled feel the United States is a military threat to their countries and their Islamic faith.

2. But they hate us for our freedom.

The problem with a PR campaign will be that they don't control the international media yet. As long as truthful news is reported these countries will continue to hate us.

3. They've been trying to improve the 'brand image' of the US for some time

It's not working, because the psyops they are attempting mostly only work on Americans (we're bred to be vulnerable to it).

4. Just when did America become a pathetic Stalinist joke

I know! I know!

When it became Amerika. After the Bloodless Coup of 2000.

It is important to remember the twilight we are currently living in...the one which gives us the temporary illusion of freedom.

These are the "Good Old Days" to the pathetic wretches who will populate Imperial Amerika 2100.

It can't last...and won't, not beyond the Mad Reign of George P. Caligula.

Perhaps it will even be quite a bit shorter. Well, see with the coronation of Lame-Duck Fuehrer* in 2005

5. The horrible irony is that the ex-Stalinists will have more freedom

The world turned upside down.
The clock strikes 13.

6. A photo of a Dem taking the oath of office in 2004 would do it all.

7. The problem they face is that the rest of the world

is not as shallow and easily led as the rw zombies who roll over and play dead whenever bush and his criminal gang wave a flag - rw media included.

The rest of the world knows what conscious Americans (true Patriots) know, bush=oil=bombs=war=death - and a pretty picture with touching melodies oozing from a tv set can't mask the stench that rises from this admin, or the trail of misery it leaves where ever it goes.
