Jimmy Carter demonstrates a pathalogical inclination for stupidity when he keeps suggesting that part of the solution to the differences with our neighbors lies with including Hamas. No. Hamas is the problem. there is no solution other than defeating them and their terrorist ideaology.- Jonathan

Johnathan, If what you say is true, then consider this. Hamas is not a machine, it is not an army, it is not a physical entity. It is a political movement, an ideology. Tell me how you are going to kill an ideology. Is Zionism an ideology? How could Muslims kill Zionism? Can it be killed?

If Hamas is a political movement and it represents the people, then do you not have to kill the people who believe and support it? It is like Likud, can you kill Likud? What would it mean to kill Likud?
