Public Diplomacy in the New Administration?

The issue of Public Diplomacy is a tricky one. I have a hard time letting the government get away with broadcasting straight propaganda to other countries. It all has to do with the unequal flow of information for me. It would be completely different if we were getting all different radio stations full of public diplomacy from other countries (including the developing ones) but unfortunately that's just not the case. I have no problem with putting opinions out there as long as there are opoosing opinions to counter and balance it. For people with little government and few political ideas to grasp, US public diplomacy could be brainwashing and downright intimidating. I think that the new administration can broadcast American ideals and systems but without calling them supreme or seeing them as the end all (or "End of History") if you will. I'll say it again and again, who says American style democracy is the best model? Fact of the matter is that it is still a baby in the scheme of things. It is short sighted to say we won't find a better way....
