Skeptical, To Put It Mildly

To the Editor:
Re “Our Flattering Assault on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad” [Oct. 1]:
Watching the reaction of the media and demonstrators to Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s visit to the United States was scary, to put it mildly.
The talking heads ranting on about Iranian-backed assaults on Americans in Iraq and the demonstrators screaming insults showed just how delusional many people have become.
I, for one, would like to ask those who demonstrated against Mr. Ahmadinejad just how they know that Iran is supplying weapons to Iraqis fighting the American occupation of Iraq.
Please don’t tell me it’s based on information supplied by the Bush administration—you know, the same bunch that fed us the W.M.D. fairy tale.
It’s scary when ordinary citizens continue to swallow the same baloney time and time again.
