Arafat, Osamas, and the land-for-peace fantasy
Cal Thomas argues that negotiating with terrorists and appeasing leaders like Arafat will not deter violence. He condemns calls for a unified Palestinian police under Arafat, warns of Munich-like concessions, and says forceful measures and trials are needed. He notes children in mosques indoctrinated to martyrdom and criticizes peace processes that empower terror.
