For the sake of saving Afghanistan from Taliban take-over and threatening US/NATO forces, I would say mobilizing the mainstream Afghan society vis-a-vis Facebook and using Obama marketing strategy to win.  Obama was named &amp;quot;Advertising Age&amp;#39;s&amp;quot; Best Marketer of the Year for 2008.

I agree that he did run a brilliant marketing campaign using words like &amp;quot;hope and change&amp;quot; created by focus groups to sucker people in mass. It will be studied for generations.&lt;/p&gt;
