Reader comment on item: Ariel Sharon's Folly
Submitted by Joshua Brook (United States), Apr 5, 2005 at 14:47
The United States and virtually every other common law (and probably civil law) country has removed citizens from their lawful homes through exercise of the power of eminent domain.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please. Comments are screened and in some cases edited before posting. Reasoned disagreement is welcome but not comments that are scurrilous, off-topic, commercial, disparaging religions, or otherwise inappropriate.
