                    CONTINUE BOMBING DURING RAMADAN

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, there are those in America that say that 
we should stop the bombing of the Taliban during the holy month of 
Ramadan. I disagree. Hitler did not stop on Yom Kippur, Japan did not 
stop on Christmas or Easter. In fact, Egypt and Syria attacked Israel 
on Yom Kippur during the holy month of Ramadan, folks.
  Let us get real: This is war. This is not a coffee break nor do or 
should we take sabbaticals. It is time to root these terrorists out. 
Keep the heat on.
  I yield back the fact that giving this Taliban regime 30 days, they 
will simply reorganize and kill many more Americans.
