Mr Pipes

While I applaud you on your appointment to teach. I can only bemoan the fact that I will miss your insightful commentary on Islam and on the growing crisis in the middle east. Also what I believe a growing crisis here in America with the refusal of goverment on all levels to confront terrorism, continuing to tell us all is well, and will not deal with the threat that it poses. And the cut and run philosophy that has now taken hold within this country in congress and the senate when it comes to dealing with Iraq and Israel. And i might add the refusal to call the Arabs in this country, CAIR being one of them.

When they out and out lie about their intended goals for this country. And their continued covert support for terrorism Hamas and hezbollah to name two. I did not hear any cries from the so-called moderate Arab community about the meetings in Iran dealing with the denial of the holocaust the silence is deafening. You are a watchman on the wall crying out when needed, to warn all of us. You will be sorely missed! God speed in your new undertaking.
