Just a Thought
The other demerits of broadcasting Rush Limbaugh over Armed Forces Network aside, is it really a smart move to offer Muslim Iraqis, very many of whom speak English, a bigot who regards torturing them in Saddam's prison to be a "fraternity prank" and "good old American pornography"? Especially under the imprimatur of the US Military and the Coalition Provisional Authority? Or is there a US-only part of the electromagentic spectrum that I don't know about?
I mean, I understand we're having some trouble convincing the locals of our good intentions, and well, it just seems to me that this doesn't help. But maybe that's just me. I'm sure the experts running things have a better grasp of the situation in Iraq than I do.
