Informational.

This is coolbert:

Is it necessary for the current U.S. government to carry out an informational campaign against the current enemy?

The current enemy in this case being the Islamic jihadi [jihadi - - a Muslim bent on jihad [Holy War] in the lesser sense of the word].

An informational campaign similar to what was done in World War Two [WW2].

An informational campaign along the lines of the "Why We Fight" film series.

An informational campaign for both domestic [U.S.] and foreign consumption.

An informational campaign that describes who this enemy is, what their intentions are, and how they intend to go about achieving their "goals".

The answer is YES!

Such an informational campaign should be carried out using identical methods as was used by Frank Capra.

Present the enemy to the world and the U.S. public using their audio, their video, their tracts, their pronouncements, their web sites, etc. An abundance of this material exists. Edit, cut, splice, copy, etc. Show the enemy to the world as the enemy sees themselves.

You will not have to do much to convince folks of the villainous nature of the enemy using this method.

Consider this pronouncement of Ayman Zawahiri [the number 2 man to Osama bin Laden], "we will probably have to kill 4 million Americans to make them bend to our will!!"

[personal comment. That one pronouncement ALONE of Zawahiri should certainly make you sit up and take notice. This guy is not joking or fantasizing when he says this!!]

There is an abundance of stuff like the above out there. Use it. And use it widely. You, as Capra did, DO NOT HAVE TO EXAGGERATE, LIE, DISTORT, OR INVENT ANYTHING!! MERELY TELL THE TRUTH!!
