The tools that we in the west developed and honed to perfection, now seem to be used against us more and more by Russia, China and every other state and failed state that we can think of. The best example of how we utterly lost to propaganda is how Bin Laden was able to lure the West into a needless and excessive war that drained our resources and created more resentment against us than ever before. Sure he should have been apprehended. But invading two countries, one on a false pretext and another on an intangible one? Beware: he wanted us to come into this fight because he knew there would be no clear way for us to “win” it.
