By the way, in response to:

"Hamas Members Will Be Tried Israel intends to try the Hamas activists, government ministers and parliament members captured during an early-morning incursion into the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defense Forces said June 29. The Palestinians will be tried for involvement with terrorist activities."

Isn't it just about time? I wish Israel and the US would both quit playing around and being 'politically correct.' A large majority of the world, especially the Muslim and Communist countries, hate us, our freedom, our once predominant religion, and our way of life. The first step to defeating an enemy is to admit to yourself and the rest of the world that they are just that - the enemy. Am I missing something here? God bless!!!

JLG, thank you for your comments. It will be interesting to see how this will all be worked out, as the Road Map's "two-state solution" has been invalidated by the election of a Palestinian terrorist government. No one wants to see another terrorist state in the Middle East, so the chances of the Palestinians ever getting their state in the near future are pretty slim. I'm guessing that the eventual Mideast peace agreement will be a regional security agreement involving all the major regional powers backed by NATO. Time will tell.
