Dr. Pipes asks the question: "When will the diplomatic bright lights in Jerusalem and Washington figure this out?" The question really should be "Where are the bright lights in Jerusalem and Washington?" Totally maxed out with political correctness, our Western societies are heading for dangerous times when there is real fear to call terrorism any other name but terrorism.

Many bright non-government people, both American and Israeli, are thoroughly fed up with the machinations of supposed bright people in high places who seem to have lost their sense of what is good and what is evil, preferring instead to buffer the situations and people who have been the main cause of terrorism in our time. When the "bright lights" wake up, please let me know.
