i agree with charlatan: you dont know how this will play out--i think that pulling hamas into conventional politics could be a good thing.
stevo etc.: if you want a serious discussion about hamas, it would have to include something like adequate/accurate information about conditions on the ground in palestine, the political situation up to now--you know, fatah under and since arafat---an analysis of the conflicts over the israeli settlement policy in the west bank--something like a rational understanding of israeli politics. if you want to proceed on that basis, fine--i would be interested. but a goofball content-free non-discussion predicated on tossing about idiotic one-dimensional images like you see in stevo's last post is not of any interest to me at all--i am too busy to fuck about with stupidity on that order, and not posting to this thread is just as easy as posting to it if this is all that one can hope for.
same goes for the politics forum in general. but that is a different matter.
make an effort to creat the conditions for an interesting conversation and maybe the forum will start to come around a bit.
