#1 Conversely, the US is missing a bet, here.

The US military figured out a while ago that pictures of dead bodies and coffins, no matter of who, or where, or why, always works against the US war effort. This is why they go to such great lengths to control such unexplained media from the American public.

However, they have not made use of this phenomenon elsewhere. That is, how many would be inspired to become jihadis if they were deluged with pictures of mangled and dead, fly-covered, bloated bodies of other jihadis, rotting in the gutter?

The US should encourage Moslem countries to revel in carnage photography. Let *them* see mass graves, weeping parents who want to bury their son's leg--all that remains of him. Let *them* see their children as hospitalized, crippled and maimed prisoners, all in a futile and senseless massacre.

Everywhere they look they should see the horror, misery and death jihad has brought forth, the utter failure of it, and the brutality of the beasts that inflict it on mostly other Moslems.

Interspersed with pictures of the war-mongering Mullahs who constantly call for it. The fat and insolent cowards who tell others to charge the guns and be mutilated and die agonizing deaths, while they, the Priests, rest in idle luxury and wealth.

The US found during Vietnam how demoralizing such photography can truly be. I say that we share the wealth, and provide them with more 8x10 glossies of goatse-quality grotesquery than all but the heartiest of their stomachs can endure.
