Pipes IS simply a neoCON/Pan-Israeli-- NOT to be confused with a conservative! They got us to take out Saddam who had worried Israel, but Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. In fact, Saddam was an opponent of BOTH Iran AND Osama Bin Hiding. And now, after spending a staggering sum on Iraq ($1-3 TRILLION, depending on who is counting), Iraq leans toward Iran! Such a deal! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/07/AR2008030702846.html
