Happy Birthday to Daniel Pipes, the historian extraordinaire whose insights into Middle Eastern affairs have enlightened many—and occasionally ruffled a few feathers! Your sharp commentary and fearless debates on television have made you not just an expert but also a memorable personality. Who else could make foreign policy discussions as engaging as prime-time entertainment?Congratulations on another successful year leading the Middle East Forum and publishing insightful analyses in the Middle East Quarterly Journal. May your birthday be filled with laughter, cake, and perhaps fewer heated TV debates—at least for today! Here's to more wisdom, wit, and timeless commentary ahead.
