Keep to the argument Mr Burns

Just to clarify for Stephen Burns as he obviously missed the point: My comments were an attempt to show that Mr. Pipes final notes could be equally be applied to George Bush as to any other despot. He certainly has a totalitarian streak (wiretaps without court orders, locking people away without trial or hope of one, vague definitions of torture) and he certainly has an arguably mystical belief in his mission (note how he told the Prime Minister of Palestine he was told by God to strike at Saddam).

So please, keep to the argument at hand. Pointless name calling and anti-Muslin ranting serve no purpose other than to provide humour for us insane, left-wing Europeans.
