Reader comment on item: May an American Comment on Israel?
Submitted by Carol Solfronk (United States), Aug 3, 2008 at 18:53
Totally agree with all that Dr. Pipes said in his article. It's hard to believe that ANYONE would think that getting a dead soldier's body in return for letting a killer loose is a good deal. That is an really absurd statement.
As to giving and taking advice, IMO Israel could use some GOOD advice right about now.
