I appreciate the sentiment, and Scott Miller is quite a guy, but the fact is, their kids are not worth $25,000. They are damaged goods. If we had to pay $25,000 for each potential Palestinian suicide bomber kid, we'd go bankrupt. I'd rather pay far less, and carve out a homeland for them in the desert somewhere.

You are probably correct that paying for the children will be expensive. However, there is no way a "Palestinian homeland" will ever be anything but a) a huge welfare case, primarily paid for by us, and b) a launching pad for more terrorists. I say no Palestinian state ever as long as they exist only to kill Israelis. Since that is the reason the Palestinian cause exists, then no Palestinian state ever. Sorry, G.W., but you rewarded terrorism big time.
