But President Bush has accepted the Palestinian elections as being legitimate and good enough. You know when a child is first learning to walk - their parents praise them - they don't say things like -"hey that's no genuine walking" or - "you call that walking?" etc.
The elections in the Palestinian territories are acceptable - nothing to write home about - but good enought for now.
Elections were a farce and now Abbas has unfroze Hamas assests. Sharansky has already warned this peace process will only encourage further terrorists attacks.
