Terrorist Accountability

Many nations throughout the world think that the United States should mind its own business instead of trying to "police" the world. On the flip side, whenever a major crisis such as a natural disaster or some other needy situation arises, the US is the first that is expected to drop a couple million in the laps of whoever. After 9/11 many civilians, even children, were seen celebrating in the streets: Less than one month ago (11/17/04) this was the scene near the Gaza Strip: Yasser Arafat is awarded the Nobel Peace prize, even though he himself is the father of modern terrorism. He is accused of stealing many millions of dollars the Palestinian Authority. And yet today, the United States is sending $20 million dollars to help the Palestinians through a "financial crisis." It is time we stop rewarding terrorists and start holding nations accountable for electing, supporting, harboring, or being terrorists.
