You both agree on the 3rd point

First, Dr. Pipes, thank you for always posting arguments from other knowledgeable people whose views disagree to one degree or another with yours.

I find it interesting that you both agree on the third point, which is grounded in sheer practicality.

Unfortunately, going haring after Islamist movements is exactly what our President has been doing, since the day he took his first oath of office (notice every revolution the middle east has been great and deserving of our support except for the one that was crushed in Iran).
