John Corry's 4/23 rejection of anything but a political solution to Israel's problems makes two critical mistakes:

(1) His dismissal of settlements as a mistake ignores the relative inability of any Israeli government to stop free Jews from making homes anywhere they can defend (particularly in Judea, their traditional homeland).

(2) Corry says military methods do not stop suicide bombers. Does he think C-3 or C-4 grows on trees? How many untrained teenagers will be crushed under tank treads before the undertaking loses allure?

p>There has seldom been peace in human history without the stimulus of the sword. br> -- Bill Heuisler br> Tucson, AZ /p> p> There are only military solutions when an enemy wants to destroy you. Peace comes after you have thoroughly defeated them. Israel should, as should the U.S., ignore the moral and intellectually repugnant U.N. and Western European elites and destroy the Islamic fascists around the world. That will safeguard the U.S. and defeating the corrupt Islamic regimes will offer the only hope for a peaceful Middle East. br> -- Michael Brody /p>
