No. But refusing to recognise the nature of your enemy is insanity in war. Pretending they are mild and reasonable is like pretending the Nazis were mild and reasonable, or that Stalin was "good old Uncle Joe", that pipe smoking fatherly figure portrayed in the West during the Second World War.

Our national policy MUST be rooted in reason and fact, and wishing the enemy to be other then he is is suicidal.

Excellent and reasonable point. Very persuasively put.

FDR, himself, fell for the "Uncle Joe" fraud, and the world suffered for years because of his mistake.
