Media Distortion

If the American people were truly educated and aware of the ultimate goal of Islamic extremists, we wouldn't be so divided. I've been educating myself on the topic and it's amazing I can get any sleep at night.
I wish Bush could/would come right out and say it - educate the people on what's really going on. I think that every child in high school should see Osama bin Laden's letter to the United States and have it explained. There is no mistaking what Osama wants for the United States, so how can there be any "slant" or "spin" put on it? It's all quite clear.
I don't think we should all be living in panic, but I do think American's should wake up and smell the coffee.
