Underground Nightmare: Hamas Tunnels and the Wicked Problem Facing the IDF
War only comes when the price of peace is too high to bear.<p>So here&#x27;s a thought: just pay them to quit. We could spend a hundred billion dollars on bunker busters and artillery rounds, and kill thousands of people. Or we could just pay them to stop and offer blanket amnesty. This isn&#x27;t an invading army, it&#x27;s a group of desperate people lashing out at their condition. And we&#x27;re not talking about supporting an entire huge nation here, it&#x27;s just a few million people. We could end this with pocket change for the US. Pump another hundred billion into Gaza development and give every man, woman, and child a government job with benefits. Hamas wouldn&#x27;t stand a chance in the face of that. The ancient rulers had no problem with this; tribute was a normal every day way of doing business. And it allows time for cooler heads to prevail. Why has this been lost?
