This is the link to the NRO piece. I hope it helps you find it, I am not too slick with this stuff. I thought I saw it posted here today, but I couldn't find that thread quickly. It's kind of a strangely written piece, I think it could have stood one more round with the blue pencil, but interesting nonetheless. It's up on the front page of NRO as of now.
thank you
"the international community, while respecting the democratic verdict of a fundamentally fair electoral process, must hold them to account. The issue is not whether Europe, the U.S., or Israel should talk to Hamas. The issue is whether there is anything to talk about with Hamas, and the burden of proof is on Hamas to demonstrate they are capable of becoming interlocutors."
We will see how the world reacts. For the past twenty or so years a terrorist Arafat managed to convince the leftists and many governments and Nobel committees that he was interested in peace and coexistence.
There was nothing to talk about there either but the West's ability to fool itself and the Muslim leaders ability to invent scapegoats works on a different logic. Oil.
