A letter to Andrew Rosenthal of The New York Times

You may think there's little connection between ISIS, Boko Haram, and Hobby Lobby. But you obviously haven't read the op-ed section of the Times.

Dear Andrew Rosenthal,

As editorial page editor of the New York Times, you're a very busy man. But I was so excited by Timothy Egan's column from last weekend that I couldn't resist writing to thank you for your good work — and to pass along a handful of proposals for some op-eds of my own. (My bosses at The Week are a little skittish about taking on the kind of bold pieces Egan has inspired me to write.)
