Pipes' Poignant and Correct.
Reader comment on item: Victory – An Obsolete Concept?

Submitted by Mark Harris (United States), Jul 26, 2009 at 21:47

Professor Pipes is once again depressing me with truth. His pointing out the not so subtle changes in our culture upset me. This is definitely change, but hope does not come with it. I only wonder if Obama will snigger with delight when we are finally pushed from Afghanistan.

Whether you are right-wing or moderate, if you have common sense and are American, then Obama and his Anti-Patriotic philosophy should be interrupting your serenity by now.
