No, I don't think the US should have installed a dictator. But I do think that hosting elections when the only two choices are between Bad and Horrible was a stupid thing to do. It backfired.
We should have either stayed away and let Gaza sort itself out a little more prior to the elections, provided support for Fatah to re-legitimize them prior to elections, or convinced the arab countries involved to prop up a completely different party that was more interested in peace than killing jews.
Of course hindsight is 20/20 and now that it is done Israel is dealing with the consequences, for better or worse.
