About time Bush finally was pressured into cutting off funding for Hamas. I thought we were against ALL Terrorist groups. Next he can tell Egypt to F off and cut off Hezbollah too. Kissing the (_!_) of terrorists to keep his 'coalition' is not going to pay off, imo.

Hi,

Lets look at this more closely:

from: travel.state.gov

Although a person's enlistment in the armed forces of a foreign country may not constitute a violation of U.S. law, it could subject him or her to Section 349(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(3)] which provides for loss of U.S. nationality if an American voluntarily and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship enters or serves in foreign armed forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or serves in the armed forces of any foreign country as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer.

What does this mean? An argument will be made that he is no longer an American based on the above statutes. As such he could be tried by a Military Tribunal.
