This is the best news I’ve heard all week.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A leading Republican lawmaker said on Sunday U.S. forces may have to help “root out terrorism” in the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, including taking aim at Hamas.
In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Richard Lugar, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said American forces might be part of an international force to help stop attacks by Hamas, the main group behind a campaign of suicide bombings against Israelis, and other groups.
Hamas has said it would reject any peace deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
If the U.S goes after Hamas, it will decimate that terrorist organization. This could be the best policy for putting down terrorism in the long run, which we must do to prevent future terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.
Could you imagine having the job where you have to make the decisions about whether to take actions such as these? I really think the government is doing an exemplary job dealing with these unprecedented circumstances.
