Instead, what this election has given is LEGITIMACY to a terrorist group

I tire of this claim.

President Bush has already addressed this very issue in his 1st term.

The Taliban, whether we like it or not, were the elected leaders of Afghanistan, as was Saddam Hussein.

Now all gone bye bye.

Elections do not confer legitimacy to a terrorist organization, be they Baathists, Taliban, or even Hamas.

Saddam Hussein + Taliban aren't democracies. The fact is, Palestinian election is a democratic process.
