A Thought On Dealing Rationally With Those Irrational
Reader comment on item: Why Oslo's Hopes Turned to Dust
Submitted by Bruce L. Murray (United States), Sep 9, 2003 at 15:07
Good! A recommendation for a little reality therapy! There is nothing so laughable as a scruffy arabic freak threatening to open the gates of hell on a superb fighting force equipped with nuclear weapons. For all your laudable rational pragmatism, I none-the-less wonder if the worst of the Palestinians can ever be convinced to accept the continued existence of Israel. This particularly true for the suicide prone.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
