Rule of Thumb
Reader comment on item: Throwing out the [Arab-Israeli] Rulebook

Submitted by Matt (United States), Jun 25, 2003 at 13:50

I find it interesting that Mr. Pipes offers President Bush advice ("Rules of Thumb") on how to attack the Arab-Israeli conflict. No President has come close to creating peace in the Middle East, so why does Mr. Pipes suggest that President Bush use time-tested, failed tactics?
