Follow-up memo on Karen Hughes' trip

John Brown follows up his earlier discussion (here) with a five-point "unclassified memo" to all ambassadors in the wake of Karen Hughes' diplomatic mission. Here's a highlight from Point 5:
Be sure to highlight the Under Secretary's brilliant comment in Turkey regarding Iraq: "You're concerned about war, and no one likes war... [but] to preserve the peace, sometimes my country believes war is necessary." On every possible occasion, repeat that in Iraq war is necessary for peace, stressing that the United States has killed tens of thousands of Iraqis because that was the only way to bring them peace -- the true eternal peace of death, which gives them the opportunity to happily be in the presence of their Maker in heaven.
