Let me give an example and the gentlemen in their most recent visit, I am sure, visited some victims in the hospital. I had the opportunity to visit a 15-year-old girl who was the victim of a homicide bomber. She was not killed, thank God, but she showed me her x-ray that included in it 18 hexagonal nuts that was packed around dynamite that were used as projectiles projected into her young body. This is savagery. This is not something that brings the debate any closer to closure. It is not something that brings the two sides closer.
