The Western media is cheerfully cooperating. It is time for that "mutually beneficial spiral of death" to stop. The only ones who can stop it now are the media themselves. Right now our own partisan politics are playing along with the propaganda the Islamists are pumping out and the media is over-hyping. That has to stop.

This is information war and the terrorists have learned very well indeed how to manipulate the media. There was a recently completed study that proved that.

"Insurgents" is not the same as "scum-sucking, vile, mother-mutilating pig rapists" you know... Calling perpetrators of vicious murders "youths" instead of "cretinous followers of the Butcher of Medina, may he rot in hell forever" is simply giving a bye to their horrendous savagry. Absent calling these offspring of [unmentionable acts] with dogs by their real labels, ignoring them in the media (while allowing proper military actions to exterminate these abortions that should have been) would be a Better Thing than we have...

Kind of like when TV stopped showing the idiots disrupting games, like streakers. TV used to focus on them and comment on how annoying and disruptive they were. Then TV stations grew up: like children, if you give them their reward (media exposure), they keep doing it, even if you say bad things about them and the police fine them. So now, when idiots like this try to disrupt games, TV stations deliberately focus on anything else, and the commenters make only a brief announcement to the viewing audience why play is disrupted, then they talk about anything else but the idiot disrupting the game. That pretty much got rid of the clowns who disrupt games for TV exposure. Makes sense. Kind of like when TV stopped showing the idiots disrupting games, like streakers.

I know it’s not very cool or post-modern to be optimistic about much of anything these days, but hearing from the troops and citizens in Iraq, I have a hard time feeling that being hopeful about Iraq’s future is wide-eyed naivete.
