thought of the day 2009 11 12 - Battle for hearts and minds

Still fighting in Afghanistan and no really decision from Obama on what the short or long term plan is. We're still apparently still deep in the "battle for hearts and minds." Which is fine I guess but it just seems like bad marketing. Doesn't the "Battle for Hearts and Minds" sound like something that happens when Dracula and Frankenstein's monster start fighting over victims?
