Denial

Too many people think that Bin Laden doesn't really want us all dead. Too many people think that the president of Iran does not spend his nights and days planning how to wipe Israel off the map. These folks mean what they say. They also know that they can soften America up by sending letters and tapes that repeat the talking points of the hate-America-first crowd. They just have to watch CNN, take notes, and feed it back to the whimpy Americans who are in denial.
