Caution First, Euphoria Much Later
Reader comment on item: A Neo-Conservative's Caution
Submitted by Vivian E. Wolfe (United States), Mar 10, 2005 at 05:40
Your words of caution are most appreciated. The Middle East is a complex situation few of us understand. I heard some disturbing news recently about our own FBI's naivite' towards using the words Islam and terrorist in the same sentence and their use of "sensitivity training" for their agents. It seems to me that our government has many blinders on in a variety of areas, including illegal immigration, and that we are in great danger of being struck unaware.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
