What do you think of this suggestion for a Kerry/Edwards ad?
Now the GOP is using the media to attack Kerry's "sensitive" and thoughtful approach against Al Qaeda. Why not set up advertisments to show the folly of the GOP's hardheaded strategy vs Kerry's wiser strategy?

For example: Set up scenario where a town is plagued by gangsters.

Show a bunch of troopers razing the town to the ground. Plenty of gangsters are rounded up or killed, but so are many innocent civilians. Show many enraged people against the troopers who came to "save the town". Fastforward to scenes where many people take up arms with the gangsters against the troopers. Show an utterly lost cause with no winners.

Now show an alternative scenario with the same town plagued by gangsters. Show how the troopers and their superiors have successfully rooted out the gangsters without going all out using strategies such as supporting the civilians as much as possible (including showing them respect) which helps isolate the gangsters; more precise and patient strikes instead of going all out in blazes...etc. Show triumphant troopers and a town reclaimed by the civilians.

1. Bush: the Cure is worse than the Disease
but with Kerry: the Cure actually works.

Just an idea for a meme.
