Winning the hearts and minds of Westerners
Omar | 6. April 2007
Right-wingers in US, British and German politics have to deal with trouble ahead. While the ‘coalition of the willing’ was and seems to still be unable to win the hearts and minds of Arab people ((’how could they win their hearts and minds, when they leave their hearts at one place and their minds at another.. (i think this is a quote by Volker Pispers) )), it seems their main foe, Iran, is doing quite a good job. The Iran had captured 15 british soldiers, which it said were sailing in it’s own territories. Two days ago, in a surprising move, the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had the 15 soldiers released. Now, it seems that Iran has reached the hearts and minds of many Westerners by doing that.
