Evil Muslim conspiracy...

I would think that for either "side" having a good public relations strategy is important. Whats on my mind right now is that tragic helicopter attack in Afghanistan that killed many of the U.S. special forces. It seemed to be bad P.R. for the Taliban.

Were I a parent of one of those killed, I would be enraged at the "enemy" and vow to continue the war! Were I simply a U.S. citizen observing the conflict, perhaps I would think about how to stop it or perhaps I would want to continue it.It is a good question ...I am often curious how the average Muslim on the street in Pakistan, Iran, or Afghanistan views the United States. Despite our flaws, are we viewed more positively than negatively? Would their opinion change if they had relatives living over here?Would our opinion of "them" change if our sister, brother, or best friend lived in Pakistan amongst them?
