Question, Robert. But let me first preface my question with something I think we'd both agree: No one wants terrorists.

That said, I ask: What makes a terrorist?

>>Most Americans would prefer to support Israel, than to support the terrorist, gangsters of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Jihad.<< That is exactly my point. The policy is based on its effectiveness in attracting votes, NOT in its effectiveness in achieving peace. That is the problem, Robert, in a nutshell. There has to be a time when a leader, if he is indeed a leader, foresakes votes and does the right thing. It isn't happening now.
