Do you remember this scence from "The Godfather"? It takes place after Michael returns from Sicily.
Michael: I'm working for my father now. He's been sick, very sick.
Kay: But you're not like him, Michael. I thought you weren't going to become a man like your father. That's what you told me.
Michael: My father's no different than any other powerful man (Kay laughs), any man who's responsible for other people. Like a senator or a president.
Kay: You know how naive you sound?
Michael: Why?
Kay: Senators and presidents don't have men killed.
Michael: Oh, who's being naive, Kay?
I think this applies here to Hamas:
"Initial results show the militant group Hamas has won an overwhelming victory in Palestinian local elections held Thursday in the Gaza Strip, winning nearly two-thirds of the local council seats in 10 districts. The results reflect the widespread support Hamas has in Gaza, and are also seen as a potential turning point for the Islamic group."
This would be like the Weather Underground getting people elected to Congress. Hamas consists of murderers who bribe the citizenry. It is possible they do good things for the Palestinians. But it is certain they support the killing of innocent Israelis. How in Bermuda can the anyone legitimize Hamas? Notice, they did not participate in the recent elections. (Tell me, Pres. Carter, does that make the Palesinian elections illegit?). How can we expect them to lay aside their way of life now that they hold public office? Does anyone really expect this to reform them? The whole situation in Palestine is a circus.
