I do hope the current appeals for friendship with America get a little mainsteam airtime. I fear they won't, as the official media stance seems to be that all Moslems hate us because we oppress them, each and every one. But Iraq's Kurds seem to feel quite differently. It's really appalling that one of the Middle East's bright spots is forced to pay for good press in the States.
Meanwhile, the Azeris would like some of that assistance as well. It will be to our immense shame if we don't come through for them. If Stephen Green is correct that we're really fighting a media war, we cannot afford to pass up this opportunity. The picture says it all.
