Mr. Helprin, I am sure, will sound like a reactionary to many. But, having lived in the Middle East for four years, I must concur with his views; if we do not face the reality that we must fight earnestly now, we will be fighting for our very lives within a decade. History repeats itself, and we are not immune.

As always, Dr. Pipes, sterling analysis!
