"But I worry about three specifics."
Reader comment on item: Romney Channels George W. Bush's Middle East Policy
Submitted by ed margulies (United States), Oct 8, 2012 at 16:02
With your "three specifics" in mind, I wonder why you support Mr. Romney. I agree with you that these are very dangerous perspectives, that an inexperienced man is espousing. I think he will add fuel to the long smoldering fire.

Daniel Pipes replies:
I support Romney because my list of specifics with Obama is a far longer one. Put differently, Romney's heart is in the right place - note the speech in Jerusalem in July that I so admired - but his policies need some work to make them more realistic.
