Reader comment on item: War as Social Work?
Submitted by Peter H. Ronai (United States), May 6, 2003 at 19:32
This article articulates what has been in the back of many minds but is considered not to be "politically correct." We are supposed to care more for the "poor" people of the countries that are a menace to us than for ourselves. Daniel Pipes has done a tremendous service by pointing out the fallacy of this self-destructive (European) outlook on international politics.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.

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