circular argument, xazy.
same bankrupt logic that resulted in the siege.
what if---say---israel and the us had just sucked it up and accepted hamas in gaza, allowed them to govern under the assumption that the experience of power would moderate them?
of course, one cannot imagine the bush people thinking that clearly and it benefits the present status quo to maintain conflict on the one hand while deploring it on the other.
the present policy maintains a radicalized hamas--israel and the americans claim this is what they do not want--why pursue brutal colonial policies that you KNOW produce the outcome you do not want? AND they undermine your own position politically, ethically, etc. it makes no sense.
