See, the trouble is that the essay from your step-son is real and from the heart. Nothing about Karen Hughes is real.

It's always been a mystery to me as to why Hughes has the rep she does. Bullshit is bullshit whether in texas or DC.

Sad. A country built on hope yet governed by fear mongering pushes away people who are our best hope for the future. Your son understands what makes this country great but has the misfortune to find that out while it slips away.

Please thank him for sharing that with us &, if you would, pass on the suggestion that he submit it to his local paper as an op-ed piece.

Thanks to your brave stepson.

I am so sorry that my country's officialdom is doing all this to our citizens and friends.

Please remind your stepson that many of us are with him in spirit, and appreciate how lucky the country is that he has come here to share his energy and his gifts.

Not in my name, please.

Karen has the rep because bullshit works in Texas and DC and most of the states. She has been caught in blatant lies so many times it's not worth counting. But people still accept something she says. Oh, okay Karen.

But the problem with US public diplomacy, as many have pointed out, is that the rest of the world actually does care whether a product lives up to its billing. Much of the rest of the world can sniff BS better than Americans.

Which doesn't bode well for Hughes' little project.

Oh, and ditto > pockets' suggestion to submit as an oped. The folks outside of the blogosphere need to hear his story.

Eh? Did I do something here, or is mine just the kind of name people like to say to soothe themselves?

Thanks to your brave stepson.

Op-Ed! Op-Ed!

Op-ed, indeed!!! With a little more polishing, I think it would make a fantastic My Turn in Newsweek (or whatever that page is called).

Let me add my voice to the groundswell of Op-Edness.

I work with native-speaking English writers every damn day who couldn't pull off the suasion and beautiful economy of language that Ibrahim tossed off in a few minutes before class.

Get this spread around.

I have just found an interesting forum on this theme
