ping: Richard Pipes is an interesting figure from the Ford and Reagan years, of whom I hadn't heard until I read this article. I question Tanenhaus's description of our strategy in Iraq, but some of this history and the comments by Pipes are interesting.

Not even the commie-crat Globe can diminish the accomplishments of Pipes. It's just too bad that he is not around now. Bush's latest appeasement drive is headed for disaster again.

Richard Pipes is Daniel Pipes' father. Like father, like son?

Thanks for the ping.

I want to now read his book and find his bibliography.
