Reader comment on item: Victory – An Obsolete Concept?
in response to reader comment: A three State Solution to Victory
Submitted by Joe Kaffir (United States), Aug 2, 2009 at 12:28
The Hamas Charter calls for the destruction of Israel. They have already made their decision, inshallah. Now what?
Your comment reminds me of a remark by Pat Condell: " What's that? You want to destroy our society because it's corrupt? Well that's our fault, not yours. Here, have some more money". Sorry, but there's really no need to wait until they have achieved UN nation status and are armed to the teeth. They (hamas, fatah and hezbolah) have already shown their true colors in spades. Bad option.
