With all that is going on in the world I would not expect VOA to cut
back on anything.

I just now went to www.rwonline.com and I scrolled down and typed
VOA in the Google window.

We KNEW you could do it. I can't tell you just how proud you've made us
all. Now, with a bit of perseverance, those pesky shoelaces are next.
You'll be able to tie them before you know it.

Stick with it!

I wonder if this is the work of the same morons who think that Eminem
will sway terrorists from killing us. The oppressed Muslim masses don't
need to hear news and shows from the American viewpoint; they need to
hear RAP MUSIC! Brilliant! With geniuses like this running the "winning
hearts and minds" op, we're surely doomed. They'll listen to Snoop Dogg
and be newly energized to blow us up, secure in the knowledge that
America is indeed degenerate and evil.

I say that if the incompetent federal government can't effectively
represent America's interests on shortwave, then private individuals
need to step up to the plate and work on broadcasting American views to
our enemies. We need to rent transmitters, produce programs, and get
those programs translated into the major languages of the Middle East,
including Arabic, Farsi (Iran), Urdu (Pakistan), Pashto, Dari
(Afghanistan), and the tribal dialects of the Hindu Kush where Osama
hides out. Most of these languages have speakers in the US.

When our enemies can more readily hear news from the Netherlands than
from the US, the US has a big problem.

Maybe not Eminem, but corrupting the minds of youth with MTV is a good
idea. The population of the Muslim nations is quite young, so MTV
mind-programming would work well.
