                   PEACE, PEACE, AT ANY PRICE PEACE?

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, people cry peace, peace. But there can be no 
peace as long as there is one side that enjoys the shooting and refuses 
to stop.
  Hezbollah, a gang of psychothugs and criminals, kidnapped Israelis 
and are firing rockets from their hole in the wall in southern Lebanon 
into Israel. Israel has responded and their commanders say they are 
going to take out these terrorists.
  Now appeasement peaceniks who believe in peace at any price, like 
France's Chirac, want Israel to stop and talk things over, probably 
over a bottle of French wine.
  But Hezbollah won't stop shooting. These are the same pseudopeace 
experts that told Israel to withdraw from occupying Lebanon. Israel did 
just that back in 2000, then gave up Gaza to the Palestinians so there 
would be so-called land for peace.
  But the terrorists in Gaza, Hamas, are shooting rockets into southern 
Israel, while Hezbollah terrorists, still in Lebanon, are shooting 
rockets into northern Israel. And the world's peace police still whine 
for harmony.
  Mr. Speaker, you make peace by making the terrorist criminals stop 
shooting. Here guns talk louder than appeasement words. And that's just 
the way it is.
