I've been wondering why those that support "democracy" in the Middle East are having such a meltdown over Hamas. Seems to me that Condi should have opened a dialogue with them quite a while ago.


And Pgardn,
You might find this article to be of interest. Note the administrations the US supports. The "charade" of US policy is easily seen.

I have never said we have supported regimes that are squeeky clean. We have supported some awful dictators.

Bush and Olmert are not giving up on Abbas just yet:

But I still think Gaza will go down in the end.

DTS and SS: Why is it that Hamas will not recognize Israel's right to exist?

You see this is/was the major sticking point. They have flatly stated they will destroy Israel. So how do you guys pose Israel is supposed to negotiate with any Hamas led government? Or the Israelis have no right to be there and they should leave as Hamas claims. Go back thru all that history and make absurd claims, all sides do this. Is that what must be resorted to?
