Agreed - democracy does not always bring to power the most enlightened leaders (Hitler and Mussolini were elected by strong majorities). Since it is now US policy not to interfere with elections (except for Clinton, who sent his boy Carville to Israel to ensure Barak's win) we need to live with the results.
My concern is that Bush will back off the US position that US will not do business with Hamas because it is a terrorist organization that sponsors terrorism.
Concern? I'll bet you on it.
Only question is hours, days, weeks, or months?
