You've Got it Right!

Dear Dr. Pipes,

You're right with all your observations about the terrorism and the denial of the truth from this (USA) government.

I came to the USA 24 years ago to search for freedom and happiness. I came from Israel with a lots of hope to find peace.

Instead of all of that I found a lot of ... ignorance and despair.

So I made up my mind and decided to go back to Israel, which I will by the end of this year.

If we have to live with terror, I would rather live where terror is recognized for what it is and where the government is at least trying to protect us from it.

In my opinion, Israel is the safest place today on Earth.

I see what the Israeli government is doing to protect its people; I see the actions that they are taking to prevent the reoccurence of attacks, but I don't see such actions happening here...
