Mr. Pipes column and many of these responses are full of insight.

The West must be very careful not to react in ways that drive natural allies in the Muslim world away from us--while overlooking critical opportunities to counter radical poison.

Her allusion to post WWII Europe seems very apt. Here is the link:
