Is Islam a religion of peace? What should the United States do about Iran — or, more specifically, an Iran with nuclear weapons? Why is it in their national interest to support Israel? In answering these and other questions about the thorniest issues confronting the US in the Middle East, Daniel Pipes provides some surprising answers. Among them, Pipes asserts that Israel is quite capable of standing up to a nuclear Iran on its own.
