Bombs alone will not stop terrorists. America must pursue a comprehensive strategy, and part of that strategy should support statehood for Palestine. Palestinian children are God's children, too; and until the issue of Palestinian homeland is resolved, there will always be terrorists. Killing bin Laden will not stop terrorists. There will be more bin Ladens. Mr. Speaker, Congress must pursue a strategy of recognizing statehood for Palestine and working it out in the Mideast region. I yield back the fact that we should be in support of President Bush's comprehensive strategy to allow statehood and recognize statehood for Palestine and recognize the differences with Israel in the Mideast region.
