Reader comment on item: Why the Paris Massacre Will Have Limited Impact
Submitted by Steve Baker (United States), Nov 15, 2015 at 06:20
Mr Pipes,
Although it will no doubt go unheeded, I want to thank you for this article putting the recent events in Paris into a proper perspective and context.
I have posted it to my Facebook Page, where it stands out by not being overlaid with a blue/white/red screen, and may thus be noticed and read by at least a few more people.

Reasoned disagreement is welcome but not comments that are scurrilous, off-topic, commercial, disparaging religions, or otherwise inappropriate.
