What would it take to get these folks to read up a little on the problem they are supposed to be dealing with. for example Ba Ye'Or 's Eurabia, which from Mr. Fried's comments he obviously has not read. also Lorenzo Vindino, Tony Blankley, Walid Phares, Melanie Phillips, Mark Steyn, Davil Selbourne, Oriana Fallaci and others have all written extensively on this problem in Europe and none would agree with Mr. Fried's assessment.
They should take a month off, inform themselves and then come back to work. But then its Foggy Bottom, where getting the facts straight never seems to matter.
