One, it is a GLOBAL war on a tactic.

Hence, groups that don't attack Americans are OK.

Look at Pakistan; when Paki Army trained jihadis attack Indians in Kashmir, they're "freedom fighters", when the same crowd attacks Americans in Afghanistan they're terrorists.

And, since the Holy Grail of our foreign policy is democratisation, it's hard for Bush to not say yes to funds for Palestine. Especially after elections have been held.

Look at the bright side, they're only getting a fraction of what Pakistan gets.

So... because they're not our enemies at this very second (even though they're the enemies of our allies), we should give money to them?

Thank you for providing another poignant reminder (along with Iran and Venezuela) that "democracy" and "freedom" are not synonymous terms at all.
