Thank you Infidel Parrot:
“I disagree with your implication that the issues were simpler back in the WWII era. History books have a way of white-washing stories, omitting confusing and controversial facts, and painting a more black and white picture of past events.”
i do except your correction on that . after all history will judge us based on how successful we will be . If we would loose WW2 we would be one who would be called aggressor. it is a terrific point , thank you!!! I am going to post something on that i will let you know about that

Nice thoughts 08Voter. I agree that we are losing the propaganda war and this is why I blog. I think it matters less who the initial aggressor is than it does who is right. The terrorists who flew planes into the WTC were wrong. Terrorism against civilian targets is wrong. Maybe the US was not right to invade Iraq, but abandoning hundreds of thousand if not millions of Iraqi citizens to be slaughtered at this point would be wrong.
I disagree with your implication that the issues were simpler back in the WWII era. History books have a way of white-washing stories, omitting confusing and controversial facts, and painting a more black and white picture of past events. Couple this with special war powers granted to the US president to control more of the MSM, and the generally lower level of sophistication of the average American during this time, and it’s easy to think that things were simpler 60 years ago. I just don’t believe it’s true.
The move toward political correctness and the increasong temptation to place civil rights above law and order have caused the trend towards the ‘blame America first’ mentality. IMO to change it would require Americans regaining their grasp on the American identity, and creating some semblance of political unity we haven’t had since 9/11.

I do agree with what you are saying , I just think that we have to do a better gob reminding to others that we are those who were attacked in this war, we are not attackers . as Tony Blair put it; "I am still amazed how many people say in effect that there is terrorism today because of the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. they see forget entirely that 9/11 predated both. Wets did not attack this movement it was attacked" ( Tony Blair. A battle for common values. Foreign affairs. 2007. vol 86 p82 ) If Chamberlain would attack Hitler in 1938 he would be for sure considered as an aggressor and technically it would be an aggression. So what ? Was he right to sacrificed millions of lives for the sake of not being called an aggressor. ? But, during WW2 was a movie "why we fight", despite that the good and evil then was much more obvious we had a movie explaining what is what .Today we are fighting much more complex world and much less self- explanatory context .We have to withstand a barrage of propaganda against "why we fight" twisting the reasons of " why we fight' , and neither white house nor conservative think tanks are doing anything to overcome this propaganda attack. It looks like they are incapable to articulate oblivious things . This is what i see as huge problem on our side.

First, I want to clarify, I don’t expect the international sentiment towards the US to change, and I really don’t care if it does. What I’m referring to is the Americans who want to point the finger of blame to the USA for every international political or cultural conflict. For instance, many people believe that if the US foreign policy was more sensitive towards Muslim nations over the years we would not suffer the terrorism we have over the last 10+years. You can see it in the media, especially coming from the libs. The same people who criticize America for going to war in Iraq are all too often the same ones who blame us for not intervening in Rwanda and Sudan. This is terrible thinking. No matter what the US does and no matter what happens to the US, it’s our own fault. After so much blame Americans have apparently begun to believe that they are at fault every time something bad happens to a non-American. It doesn’t matter very much what other countries think of the US. As long as the US is the dominant military and economic superpower in the world, we will always be resented. We should accept that and not feel guilt over it. The dangerous attitude I refer to is when Americans feel shame and start apologizing for our prosperity, influence, and our IDENTITY.

“The culture of ‘Blame America First’ must change. ”
how are you going to change it?
inspired by Dr. Bulldog i wrote my article as a response on newsweek propaganda , but neither your reaction nor mine nor Dr. can offset the harm done by the article .Official white house is playing nice and no official media outlet including FOX news is capable to provide sufficient contr- propaganda. I do not see how the culture of ‘Blame America First’ could bechanged

I’ve been saying all along that Muslims are their own worst enemy. I share this sentiment with some of you: if Islam’s perception is so negative, what are you Muslims doing to change it? The culture of ‘Blame America First’ must change. It’s not our job to make everybody be nice to Muslims, it’s Muslims’ responsibility to assimilate to American culture. It was Islam itself that dug this huge hole (of negative public opinion and persecution) for American Muslims, yet they do nothing to change Americans’ perception of them. Instead they do stupid stuff like question the President on what he’s doing FOR them. Pure BS.

2008 Voter,
I agree with your assessment of this article. What Americans fail to realize is that once they submit to dhimmitude, it’s too late to go back. People who continually give ground to Muslims are setting dangerous precedents.

Since American Muslims are the best educated and most affluent and most educated they could render a great service to both the nation they love and the “religion” they love. They could go to the ummah and try to straighten out the muddled thinking that leads to the formation of the jihadist scum. But somehow, I just don’t see it happening.

First off, just because they are good at getting degrees & finding good jobs, it doesn’t make them good citizens. Sitting off to the side while your own religion is being hijacked and sold to the rest of the world as a cult is just as bad as being a terrorist.
Basically, don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution. When I see a group of muzzies on national TV, in the streets of the USA, with signs saying “death to Paki imams” and “saudi take your oil & stick it up your sandy asses”, then I might think that this group of American muzzies really are against terrorism.
UNtil then, I still think they are playing the fence and waiting to see where the chips fall.
