Eric:

David Bernstein, as I'm sure you've seen, is blogging up a storm (or is that storming up a blog?) over at VC.

He seems to think that everything will be okay now that Hamas is legit (my words), sort of like Hitler was after the Nazi party won some seats in the German parliament and Hindenburg appointed him Chancellor. That didn't work out too well for the Jews.

And, Bernstein posits, if Hamas turns out to be just a bunch of terrorists, well, then Israel can destroy every Palestinian building on earth.

Me? I think that Hamas -- with Iran's increasingly nuclear support -- will do whatever it damn well pleases.

Who's gonna stop Hamas? Israel? With Iran on the brink of signing -- I'm making a bet here -- a mutual-assistance pact with the Palestinians.

I think you have to hand it to Bush.

What a plan -- Democracy in the Mid-East. Hah.

As soon as a terrorist group is elected to run things, Bush says "I didn't mean democracy in the sense that I'd respect the voters' decision (we've seen that before here); I meant it in the sense that I, as dictator in America under the Commander-in-Chief clause, get to say who's elected."

This from a guy who shits all over Congress, the Courts, and the American people.

Bush is clearly someone who knows democracy when he sees it.

Well, we finally found a "country" where people will dance in the street after an Americanesque-election. Mission accomplished!
