Bravo Mr. Pipes! Keep telling it like it is! A totalitarian ideology is what we are facing in Islam. That we should spend over 100 Billion Dollars to install an Islamic Theocracy in Iraq!!! What will happen to the women, what will happen to the Christians and Jews and other religions? And to that most rare and disenfranchised of all groups: the liberal Moselms!?

The social cost of Islamic rule ways heaviest on the backs of those poor benighted moslems themselves. Our Western liberals talk about letting them evolve at their own place, but they fail to consider the sheer human cost of waiting decades or hundereds of years for the Islamic dark ages to end! Bring in Kemal Attaturk. We need a real leader with the intestinal fortitutde to act as midwife to a new religion for the Moslem world.
