Adherence to reality has real value :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Doug Mayfield (United States), Jan 20, 2015 at 14:20

I don't know much about Sisi except that he is struggling to survive and in that context, he has to be ruthlessly realistic. Based on your comments about him, I'll root for him to do so.
