The road map became unviable when hamas came to power. How can you have a two state solution if the one of the states refuses to recognise the other? Looking at it from such a perspective it becomes clear why the west would be reluctant to fund such government. That such a government is democratically elected does not automatically entitle it to continued financial support from the west, the countries providing funds will clearly react to the stated policies of a party in power.
I agree it was an opportunity of moderation when the hamas/fatah executive formed. The whole thing is a mess now, too many guns in a dense urban area. Mixedmedia pretty much summed it up in her latest post. The whole thing is depressing really.
