GREAT article! Now I see why CAIR and AMC don't like you...
Reader comment on item: [Lee Harris on Why the U.S. is] Discarding War's Rules

Submitted by Roddy McClain (United States), Jul 24, 2003 at 22:45

Dr. Pipes.

Great article! I can now see why groups like CAIR and AMC don't like you. They don't want America to know how to defeat those they apologize for. You are very correct in your article that the West is too civilized in our responses to terror. We can pretty much lay this blame at the feet of those who preach we have to get along with people. The PC crowd comes to mind. They have primarily been Democrat and gutless as usual...

You must be very knowledgeable and a serious researcher. The information you present is quite a threat to the terrorist front groups like CAIR and AMC. They are seriously afraid of what you have to say regarding terrorism and its sources. They betray themselves is their rabid opposition to the simple truth and the people see that. The ones who get a chance to read your work.

I've heard your name from time to time about being an expert on Middle Eastern matters. I admit this is the first article of yours that I've read. There might have been others without knowing it. But all in all, your article has the gift of clarity and a brass knuckles approach to the truth. I like that. I look forward to the next article.

Thank you for the knowledge and expertise you bring to this forum.

Sincerely, Roddy McClain Riverton UT 84065
