1. See the documentary "Hearts and Minds"

It is about the Viet Nam war, but equally applies today

4. Then rent "Battle of Algiers"

It was re-released by Rialto Pictures in 2004 and is available as a 3 DVD set--the film and loads of supplementary materials.

This is turning into a film festival!

3. She was undoubtedly overcome with gratitude for the honor of

having been selected for a surprise visit by her liberators.

We're winning their minds and hearts! Victory is at hand!

7. No doubt the poor lady was overcome by embarrassment

that she had no rose petals handy to strew in the path of her liberators as a token of her gratitude.

6. We all know how successful the Israeli "Defense" Forces

have been in winnning Palestinian "hearts and minds". Why then, are we emulating their techniques? Oh yeah, we really don't give a shit about that "hearts and minds" pablum we've been feeding the American people. They're just to damn dumb to understand the dichotomy between our lingo and actions. Pity.
