    The West won the headlines - Iran changed history

    COA- Wars are fought twice. The first battle is fought with missiles, bombers and soldiers. The second is fought with headlines, television studios, think tanks and official briefings.

Washington and its allies not only projected power across continents; they largely shaped the language through which that power was understood. They decided who was the aggressor, who was the defender, whose violence was regrettable and whose violence was unforgivable. They possessed not merely armies but the authority to define reality.
