Polishing Our Image

Right after September 11, a big push was made to improve our image in the Muslim world. The person in charge of that effort was Charlotte Beers, an ad industry veteran. She just quit.

She acknowledged only last week that her mission has been daunting. "The gap between who we are and how we wish to be seen and how we are in fact seen is frighteningly wide," she testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

You don't think it has anything to do with our current sucky foreign policy do you? Yeah, me either.
