You obviously missed the point of his article. Reread the title. At no time does he infer or claim that it is a "good" thing that Hamas is now officially in power. So just what in the bloody hell are you talking about?
Exactly sir!!! You make my point. As the above quotation shows, a few months ago Steyn was predicting that elections would bring "liberty" to the Middle East. Since this, his predictions have been proven wrong in Egypt (Muslim Brotherhood) victories and now with Hamas. Do you think he'll admit it?
Ooops. I guess that is ma'am not sir.
