Engaging the Enemy
[National Review] David J. Feith and Andrew M. Steinberg - Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft, Lee Hamilton, and other former high-ranking officials have called for the U.S. to engage in "genuine dialogue" with Hamas, the terrorist organization currently in power in Gaza. But Hamas has always been an avowed anti-democratic force. It has never held internal elections, is not creating democratic institutions, and eliminates internal opposition by means of summary executions. If the failure of the Oslo process taught us anything, it was to judge Palestinian groups by their actions, not by their soothing words to the West. The writers are students at Columbia and Yale, respectively.
