The mainstream media is hyperventilating about Hamas winning the parlamentary elections in Palestinia, and for good reason of course, it's nearly akin to al-Qaeda winning an election. But it's not like the alternative was that much better. Just look at how they reacted to the loss..The protesters waved yellow Fatah flags, fired weapons into the air and burned several vehicles as they denounced the election results and demanded the resignations of corrupt party officials. Demonstrators also rejected participation in any Hamas government.We're talking about the same gang led for years by Arafat, essentially a Nobel prize winning terrorist. The difference is Hamas never tried on the sheep's clothing.
But the fact remains Hamas is a formally designated terrorist organization. Only Jimmy Carter, Ahmadinejad, and Hugo Chavez might recognize their government. Around work today some friends marvelled at how fast Bush's entire ME policy, which looked promising just a year ago, was officially sent down the commode with this election. The consensus was depressing, going into the weekend and all.
