Pipes has often been characterized as a conservative or neo-conservative , and less often as an Orientalist or neo-Orientalist, . His 2003 nomination by U.S. Bush to the board of directors of the U.S. Institute of Peace was protested by Democratic leaders, Arab-American groups, and civil rights activists, who cited his allegedly rightist views and oft-stated belief that "force was the most effective remedy to conflict."
