Dr. Pipes: Your first paragraph says it all-completely, yet succinctly

I just wanted to "thank you" again for sending me your E-mails on the terrorist threat. Each time I read one of your articles I say to myself, "My. What a good analyst he is."

As for your symposium article in NR, I would just add to the above that the Conservative/Liberal divide extends even to the daily values that US citizenship embraces. For instance, Conservatives take their personal security much more seriously and are much more vigilant in their everyday activities than are liberals.

Thus, both Conservatives and Liberals may wear rose-colored glasses---but Conservatives realize it, Liberals don't.
