Defeat Terrorism First
(National Review) Tashbih Sayyed - Last month in Sharm al-Sheikh, President Bush told Arab leaders, "We must not allow...a few terrorists to destroy the dreams and hopes of the many." If only it were that simple. The sad truth, however, is that those "murderers and attackers" are today heroes of Palestinian society. Opinion polls in the past three years consistently show that over 60% of Palestinians support bombings and violence inside Israel. All day long, PA television broadcasts videos that show "martyrs" being greeted by beautiful "virgins" in the fountains of heaven, their reward for killing Jews. To create a Palestinian state before this mindset is changed can only ensure that the new state will be yet another terrorist sponsor.
