It feels good to get proven insights by mirroring ourselves in ones' light years ahead wisdom, and in my opinion, superior mind and guidance.

What Dr. Pipes said illuminated me:

Indeed as he said: "...The strategically brilliant but economically deficient early state has been replaced by the reverse. Yesteryear's spy masterminds, military geniuses, and political heavyweights have seemingly gone into high tech, leaving the state in the hands of corrupt, short-sighted mental midgets." But this does not explain the whole situation, which results from a deep mix of fatigue and arrogance. "..

The Question: "...What has happened to the Israelis that they no longer fight smart">>.

Has been in many minds, constantly.

It feels good to get proven insights by mirroring ourselves in ones' light years ahead wisdom, and in my opinion, superior mind and guidance.

It feels good- Thank You Dr. Pipes for helping bring civilization to light.

To many of us and in proven practical terms, you are a prophet of the modern times- Please, accept it.
