Are we out of our minds? Why are we even negotiating with these terrorists? These people should be in jail for murder and conspiracy, or better yet, hanged. They should not be in power. This is Hamas, This for Israel would be for us like Mexico electing Al-Qaeda to be their leaders. I feel like I've entered the Twilight Zone or something. We shouldn't be giving aid to terrorists period, I don't care if they promise to be nice and promise everyone Rainbows and Fuzzy Bunnies and send Ariel Sharon some flowers and a 'Get Well Soon' card. This is absolutely insane.

And what is it with the media dissecting Hamas? Hamas now has an 'Armed Wing' and a 'Political Wing.' This Orwellian doublespeak is disturbing. We are to believe there are now 2 Hamas'. The nice, reasonable bunch and then their crazy cousins. Absurd.

Is Carter in any danger?

Probably not, after he was told they were just having an old fashion Palistinian peanut roast.

"These is a slight chance this could work out and they kill each other off."


I thought the exact same thing, they do not have a dime to their name and no way to produce a dime, completely reliant upon this world for survival. Who gets the 'aid' check now??? Saddam is no longer sending 25,000 to families of homicide bombers, Iran is going to need to keep its gas sales up to fill that void. Will the Euros who supply the majority of money continue?

Yes. Reminds me of the IRA which has been legitimized.

Democracy and Islam are totally incompatible
We have to destroy Islam before we can expect them to act like human beings
