this cannot...

be good. since hamas has taken over in gaza, what will happen now? is anyone suprised? the palestinians did elect an hamas movement to run their country, so it becomes the case that the palestinian people get what they have elected- the wanton eleminatioin of the jewish people/state.

where does this leave israel? where does this leave us? hell, where does this leave the middle eastern region in general?

i know the left likes to blame bush, but is it entirely possible that bush is also dealing with the mess that clinton left behind? if i remember correctly, he wasn't a great foreign policy president.

anyway...hamas and fatah have the same goal.

and i'm sure good old rice giving a call to abbas really gets the ball rolling towards 'peace.' americia is on the side of the 'moderates' for peace with israel. when won't these people understand; they do not want peace with israel; they want them dead. period. nothing less will do. and until more people start to realize this, nothing will change.

we have taken the philosophy of pragmatism towards what hamas and fatah are about, and this philosophy cannot work in world politics. we need to call a spade a spade, and get it over with. then comes understanding toward what is happening.

running out of time...got to go...sorry to cut it short...
