The Winning Of Hearts And Minds

It's a little late now to beef up security in Iraq by blocking off YouTube and MySpace.

Plus, aren't you guys a little behind? My office has had those sites, plus all the other ones you might want to waste your day away with (they even think they've blocked blogger...suckers), blocked off for years! Back when MySpace was like, the new Facebook, and Friendster was the old MySpace.

(I just checked the link to Friendster, and it's not even blocked, that's how lame it is.)

At this rate, the military will start requesting that the international news stop publishing their win/loss stats, and all the upcoming initiatives.

Censorship has its value. And if you're not using the tools that would actually work to keep either 1) your warriors completely engulfed in survival consciousness, or 2) the other side from being disgusted by your culture and arrogance, then just give it up!

Let our boys have their fun! They think they're coming home soon, anyway.
