Hey, Karen!
News item: Karen Hughes is giving up on the idiotic mission of winning the "hearts and minds" of Arabs through sweetness and light. Hughes says that improving the world's view of the United States is a "long-term challenge" that will outlast her. "This will take a number of years."
Professor Polistra has some simple medical advice for Hughes. If you want to win the hearts and minds of the world, you must have testicles. You must show the normal people of the world that you recognize the difference between good and evil, and you must try to destroy evil.
When normal people, even Arabs, see that Arabia and Yemen are still under the same Wahhabi rulers after directly attacking us, they correctly conclude that we are not interested in eliminating those bad regimes. They correctly conclude that our government lacks testicles, and thus their hearts and minds are unswayed.
