If only Mr. Pipes had said the following

I think Daniel Pipes did well and I know that often after debates people think of all the things they should have said but I'll mention this anyway. Daniel Pipes should have jumped on Brian Becker's statement that just because one person in 36 years makes a hostile statement to Israel doesnt mean it's Irans policy.

Iranian officials come out with vicious statements constantly there are mass rallies where the population shouts death to Israel, and death to America, the Iranians have said that the destruction of Israel is non-negotiable. Let Mr. Becker try and twist that.
