American Entropy: The Hearts and Minds

The Hearts and Minds

So now we are softening our approach to improve our image in our various wars?

In Iraq we hope to pacify Ramadi without leveling it; the "anti-Fallujah strategy".

In Afghanistan we hope to regain the publics trust and support by handing out "toys, food, supplies."

Does all that go out the window with our outright support for Israeli aggression against all of Lebanon and did we have a choice?

[UPDATE] It has been alleged that the US military may have pushed for the torture of Iraqi prisoners. This is based on "interviews with military personnel and sworn statements in declassified documents" and begs the question, how far up the chain did this go?

Two steps forward, two steps back.
