From: MElsant@aol.com Date: Fri 1 Mar 2002 Subject: Support Israel's war against PLO terrorism for sake of US and Israel! (VIPAC) --part1_44.1bdab307.29b06b45_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Mr. President: I was appalled to read that your administration was advocating Israeli restraint in the face of Islamic terror. I have attached an article at the end of this letter from the March 1 edition of the Jerusalem Post where your spokesman advocated such restraint. That is not the policy you promised the American people when you said on September 20 before a joint session of Congress that "From this day forward any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." That is not the policy you promised Americans when you said in that same speech that "We will direct every resource at our command -- every means of diplomacy every tool of intelligence every instrument of law enforcement every financial influence and every necessary weapon of war -- to the disruption and to the defeat of the global terror network. " Arafat's Palestinian Authority with its smuggling of 50 tons of weapons on the Karine A with its suicide bombers smuggled in its Red Crescent ambulances to murder 81 year old men in the heart of Jerusalem and 16 year old girls in the pizza shops of Judea with its accumulation and use of weapons it pledged never to possess has amply demonstrated that it has thrown its lot in with that of the global terror network. Therefore they are enemies of America and should be defeated--quickly and completely--just like their Taliban and Al Qaida brethren in Afghanistan. Please encourage Israel not to exercise restraint but rather to act decisively and powerfully to end Arafat's reign of terror. Place the blame where it belongs for the regrettable but unavoidable civilian casualties that will be part of that campaign--on the shoulders of the Palestinian Authority which has deliberately placed its bomb factories and terror camps in civilian areas. The destruction of Arafat's axis of evil will not only make the Middle East safer for Israel but make the world safer for America. Sincerely >From the Jerusalem Post March 1 2002: Following the incursion the US urged the (Israeli) government to exercise restraint. "We do believe it's extremely important that every possible effort be made to avoid harm to civilians. The United States is concerned about the present situation on the ground especially in the Balata refugee camp" State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told a news briefing. "We've been in touch with the Israeli government to urge that the utmost restraint be exercised to avoid harm to the civilian population." Boucher said Secretary of State Colin Powell telephoned Prime Minister Ariel Sharon before the situation at the camps developed extensively. He said they talked about the need for continuing steps to stop the violence and to continue Israeli-Palestinian security cooperation. He said the issue of restraint had been raised by the US Embassy. ==^====================================== The President's email: president@whitehouse.gov The Vice President's email: vice.president@whitehouse.gov White House phone: 202-456-1414 Fax: 202-456-2461 Click on "Govt.
