Frum came by the Kennedy School a few years ago. After a relatively stupid verbal "disquisition" on the Vietnam War, which he is too young to remember, Frum tried to tell me that as an ally Pakistan was more of a liability than an asset and that the USA should consider a military intervention there.
I pointed out that one could make at least as legitimate an argument that as an ally the State of Israel was more of a liability than an asset.
He told me that the American people had already made its choice on that subject.
I asked when the USA had held an open public debate followed by a democratic decision on the alliance with Israel. He gave me the yeshivah shrug as if it were a topic in gemora (גמרא) beyond my ken and turned away.

Geert Wilders to speak at Ahavath Torah Congregation 1179 Central St Stoughton, MA 02072
February 25, 2009 6:30pm-7:30pmControversial Dutch lawmaker and filmmaker Geert Wilders, banned last week from setting foot on British soil, will appear at Ahavath Torah Congregation on February 25th, 2009 from 6:30-7:30pm.
Mr. Wilders, a current member of the Dutch Parliament, is currently facing prosecution in his homeland for his outspoken criticism of radical Islam.
For anyone who is interested in discussing the defense of Western Civilization, freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas and liberty, Mr. Wilders' case should provoke serious thought and attention. Mr Wilders will present his film Fitna which he describes as "a call to shake off the creeping tyranny of Islamization".
Following the viewing of the film (approximately 15 minutes) Mr Wilders will conduct an open dialog with the audience. The practice of Islamist Law Fare (also known as Legal Jihad) is equally as dangerous to our liberty and freedom as a hijacked airplane or a suicide bomber, according to Mr. Wilders.
Islamists are increasingly using this method of predatory lawsuits to silence free speech around the globe. Though often inconspicuous in media coverage, the results are clear and powerful examples of chilling 1st Amendment rights and bankrupting defendants. Free speech is either allowed to live, or it is stifled one ruling and one country at a time.
Mr. Wilders' visit to Ahavath Torah Congregation is sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) and the Middle East Forum's Legal Project which is currently raising funds for Mr. Wilders' legal defense.
Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are welcome. Such checks may be made payable to the Middle East Forum and will be collected during the event.
Daniel Pipes founded the Middle East Forum.
I have a lot of entries about the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) on my website. RJC and CUFI Incite Islamophobia is a fairly typical example.
