"Civilian ambassadors" have been recruited by Karen Hughes's Public Diplomacy shop at the State Department to carry the message to the world that, "The United States welcomes all religions and rewards immigrants who embrace its democratic values with opportunities and freedom beyond their dreams." "This is going to be one hell of a hard sell," writes William Fisher. "Think about it. The US is waging two wars on countries that have overwhelmingly Muslim majorities. And it has launched a 'global war on terror' (GWOT) that largely targets Muslims. I suspect it's going to take a lot more than 'changing the messengers' to persuade the world to take the president at his word."
