Gaza
Reader comment on item: Cut Gaza's power?

Submitted by Jon Purizhansky (United States), Sep 20, 2007 at 19:42

What would the United States do if a terrorist organization took over a Mexican state, declared sovereignty, killed opposition, imposed Shariah and fired rockets into texas?

Would the US cut off the power...or would it go a step or two further?
