When our military is engaged in "winning over the hearts and minds of Arabs," wouldn't you say it's their priorities that we should be focused upon? Your crude bait-and-switch about "we're not as bad as your own murderous terrorists" is unlikely to be very convincing to those who already hate radical terrorists responsible for bloody bombings, but also distrust America's motives. All that's being accomplished by pointless rhetoric like the above is scoring the approving nods of your fellow neocons. Do our “misplaced priorities” even matter in this equation?
