Don’t Punish the Palestinians by Jimmy Carter is exactly right - exactly. He says, don’t mess with Hamas. They won. If it’s Democracy we’re pushing, the we have to live with the will of the people.

Bush, but we’ve stayed the course because Democracy self-corrects [he says with his fingers crossed and a prayer in his heart while throwing salt over his left shoulder].

Exactly who did these people think was going to win? The Fatah party has been stealing money for years. They have been corrupt than Tammany Hall since the money started flowing in.
The Islamic fundamentalists are organized like political parties, so they are going to win a vote.
It’s time to put up or shut up.
