Protesting the Protesters

Re “Students, Rethink How You Protest,” Commentary, Sept. 28: Hooray for David Horowitz! I realize that many young people are having a difficult time dealing with the strange and shocking situation which has been thrust upon them. But all of us, young and old, must understand that our first and most urgent priority is to reduce and eventually stop opportunities for appalling acts like those committed Sept. 11. It is pointless to argue about the rules of engagement. Those have already been decided by Osama bin Laden and his fanatic followers.
