Body politic needs surgery
Reader comment on item: Militant Islam's New Strongholds
Submitted by Mark (United States), Oct 24, 2002 at 16:58
Dr. Pipes-I agree with your assessment of the dangers we are facing. It is like a terribly sick organ in the body politic. If not removed very soon the outer appearance of wellness will disappear and we will be living in a constant state of sick terrorism. Time for surgical strikes.
