Uncomplementary name-calling and vicious pointing out of each other's faults and misdeeds is how the Cold War with the Soviets was mostly fought. And the West won this war because the truth US and its allies could say about the Soviets was more vicious and more compelling than what the Soviets could say about the West.
It seems that Osama Bin Laden and his followers still remember the lessons they've learned during the Cold War, while the US and its allies have forgotten and lost their competence in this kind of verbal fighting.
With Al-Qaeda indiscriminately killing civilians, why doesn't the US government say the truth in a vicious way, they way they used to do it with the Soviets?
Why don't they call terrorists animals, savages, murderers of children, bandits and all kinds of other emotional names? This is the truth said in an emotional way, which is how it should be in Psychological Warfare.
