No Fool Like An Old Fool
Fomer Pres. Jimmy Carter, on his recent 'peace mission' to kiss up to the terrorist Hamas organization, has made a complete fool of himself. A weak president while in office, and a weak character since, he somehow got it into his mind that he could actually get Hamas to do something constructive by sitting down and talking to these murderers. Well, he was rather disappointed. First, they made him look ridiculous when he said they had accepted Israel's existence. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal quickly denounced that statement, saying he had agreed to 'ten-year truce' if Israel returned to pre-1967 borders. He later renounced even that. Carter also defied the US State Dept. to make his little trip to cozy up to terrorists. The Israeli ambassador to the US harshly criticized him as a 'bigot', and the father of a kidnapped Israeli soldier wasn't impressed either. Receiving a letter from his son, he condemned Carter as 'a postman for Hamas'. Sounds pretty much like a complete disaster to me.
...shall perish by the sword", as the Scripture tells us. Here pictured is Hussam Zahar, 24, son of Palestinian Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar, who died fighting Israeli military units in the Gaza strip. This definitely not a man of peace. He had already lost an elder brother several years ago during an unsuccessful Israeli asassination attempt on his father. As President Bush toured the Mideast, Islamic radicals continue to stir up trouble and conduct terrorist attacks throughout the region. We support PA President Mahmoud Abbas in his attempt to find a peaceful solution to differences with Israel. The forces of civilization must prevail against these evil militants!
My hearty congratulations to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for pardoning a young lady who was gang raped earlier this year. Under the Kingdom's conservative laws, she was also liable for punishment for being in the company of men not related to her. Pres. George W. Bush also weighed in wish a strong expression of displeasure about the episode. Your Majesty, it's time to banish Saudi Arabia's medieval standards of justice and bring your country into the modern era.
