The election of Hamas as the legit. government of Palastine is an example of how democracy does not always give the result the rest of the world wants!!! Which is why I have reservations about Americas(G.Bush) wish to 'create'/impose democratic states in e.g Iraq. Democracy is not always the 'best' form of government!!!for every nation.
Dizzie...you obviously have a very good background to this tragic situation. How much of todays' mess is due to the 'giving' of Palastinian lands to the Israelis back in 1945? by the then 'Allies' one of which was Britain.? I know it is complicated now and the insight into the American right wing christian attitude to the Jews explains a lot! The Americans have always supported Israel trmendously. There is no clear right and wrong I feel but there has to be some humanitarian consideration. The Israeli army is massively strong against a relatively few terrorists. There must be a better solution then going to war....yet again!
