It doesn't surprise me
Reader comment on item: Ahmadinejad - Hostage Taker?

Submitted by Robin Sue Landsburg (United States), Nov 13, 2006 at 13:28

Is there no sense of history? What does it take for public opinion, the media, the politicians--both domestic and international-- to recognize an anti-Western fanatic when they have him right in front of their eyes? If only Daniel Pipes' astute perceptions and writings could be fed to everyone as infants and children when one's values are being molded, then, we could make some progress toward a saner world.
