Dear Dr. Pipes:

I believe this article simplifies and automatically villifies as"left" everyone who does not agree with the war.

I am no lover of Saddam. I am also a student of history and understand well the lesson of World War II and the problems of appeasement. However, the sheer lack of diplomacy and respect shown by everyone--including Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush--for our backers and detractors in Europe and around the world is shortsighted and appalling.
