Rice: Dismantling Terrorist Infrastructure "Essential"
(State Department) Secretary of State Rice told the Saban Forum in Jerusalem on Sunday: "Dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism is essential for peace because in the final analysis, no democratic government can tolerate armed parties with one foot in the realm of politics and one foot in the camp of terrorism....Israel's neighbors must demonstrate their concern for peace not only with rhetoric but with action. We encourage them - Egypt to enhance its cooperation with Israel on basic security issues. And we call on all Arab states to end incitement in their media, cut off all funding for terrorism, stop their support for extremist education, and establish normal relations with Israel."
