[IMC-Editorial] Letter: Bush on the Release of Palestinian Terrorists

[The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

In response to Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas's demand for the release of 
every single one of the thousands of Palestinian terrorists held in Israeli jails, 
President Bush replied: "Surely, nobody wants to let a cold-blooded killer out of prison 
that would help derail the process" and "engage in terror attacks."

But clearly Abbas's demand--and Palestinian popular support for it--is incontrovertible 
evidence that the Palestinian leadership--and the great majority of Palestinians--want 
exactly what president Bush said *nobody* wants: to free all imprisoned terrorists so 
they can resume murdering Jews. 

If President Bush believes that evading reality is practical--that a man demanding the 
release of terrorists is an honest partner for peace--he needs to do some hard thinking. 
Bush said: "I fully understand the prime minister's desire, I fully understand his 
request."

Do you Mr. President?


Sincerely,
