Aggressive and provocative to the end, Fallaci made her name as a tenacious interviewer of some of the most famous leaders of the 20th century. She quarreled with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, provoked U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger into likening himself to a cowboy, and tore off a chador (enveloping Islamic robe) in a meeting with Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

WOW! She must have had a soul of steel.

They say a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. I think the author went through life and discovered the beliefs she grew up with had little bearing on reality. In the end she gave us an account of life as it was and not as we would like it to be. Quite a contrast with the Left which even now, unlike Fallaci, is the one that dwells in its own fantasy world.
