3,7 (parallels to forest fire prevention campaigns)

There are some fascinating, eerie parallels to the "Only you can prevent Forest Fire campaigns" of the 1940's, the longest, currently running public awareness campaign in the history of the United States.  Back in the 40's, I'm sure there were many high level conversations about the catch 22 - "What if by putting this out there, people intentionally start setting fires.  What if the public relations campaign does more harm than good.  What if it backfires on us?"  These same questions will surely surface.  You can learn a lot from the past.

Sidenote - Although ultimately unsuccessful, forest fires were viewed as a weapon by the Japanese in the Oregon Lookout Raids of 1942.  Japanese forces dropped bombs with the alleged intention of spreading wildfires, but the fires were held under control.  This attack was the first and only time the continental US was bombed by an enemy aircraft.... until 9/11.  Just goes to show you that one persons awareness campaign and attempt to educate the public is another persons potential weapon of mass destruction.  Even in the world of asymmetrical warfare, there's still a balance and symmetry.

And one could reasonably argue that the moral questions raised by the issues of forest fires are STILL in play.  Because once there's an official acknowledgment of the problem...
