Carpet Bombing

[Guest guest]

Dear Dawn and ,

After the Vietnam war, the US military figured out how to really fight a war. In Vietnam, the war dragged on for years and 57,000 American soldiers were killed. Compare that to the "Gulf War". It lasted 10 weeks and 371 soldiers were killed, half of them in accidents. 70 of them drowned when the ferry they were on capsized on the way to a party while on shore leave. Still qualifies as "killed in action". The recent hunt for Bin Laden has lasted 8 weeks and less than 5 Americans killed. The reason for the success is "carpet bombing". The best example is the Iraqi troops were bombed every 3 hours all day and night. The survivors quickly realized that they were on the wrong side.

For the last few years, we have been fighting individual battles, with no real effect. We've even had big names like Dr. Healy and Dr. fighting too. But that's like throwing little hand grenades at a giant enemy. If we gather up all this info and send it out on one day, it will be a bigger bomb, but will soon become yesterday's news. So I say, let's lay down a "carpet of bombs"(information) over a period of 5 business days. Most of our bombs will have little effect, but some will hit targets. I am hoping and expecting to attract the interest of at least some reporters, even if they're just little ones and work with them. We will have certainly introduced ourselves to the SG office and hopefully made an impression. I fully expect to be monitored by the enemy camps beginning Monday, but what the heck, how do you advertise that your product doesn't kill, like the Crusaders say. Their PR team is gonna work for their paychecks.

When you think about what to ask the SG for, please think of us as a little tugboat against an aircraft carrier. Demanding stuff would be like ramming the carrier and simply destroy us. We have to ask for crumbs, and more crumbs,and more crumbs. The world's biggest mall here was built by 3 brothers who spent their days at city hall begging the councillors for tiny zoning changes. Each request was inconsequential but after a few years, the council realized just how much they had given away.

A monthly newsletter would be an excellent way to remain a thorn in their side.
