Cutting Off Hamas
(Denver Rocky Mountain News) Vincent Carroll - It wasn't a close vote Tuesday in the House of Representatives - 361-37 - but there is no reason it should have been, either, given the subject at hand: terrorists in charge of the Palestinian Authority. The House vote (and the Senate's when it comes) signals that U.S. refusal to deal with Hamas until it disarms and recognizes the existence of its neighbor is not a passing whim of a supposedly hard-line administration. It will remain permanent U.S. policy.
