Funny how no one in Junk Journalism really understands the ME despite all their pontificating. I guess I should not be suprised because great minds rarely go to J schools.
Hamas got away screaming that everything was lousy for the Palis because of the Jews and the Americans and the corrupt old Fatah. NOW they got NO one to blame when nothing changes. The fundemental problem for the Palis is their culture of violance. Doesn't matter who is in charge, until they change the basic underlying culture they are going to be a stagnent, poverty stricken waste land. Hamas now is going to be responsible for the failure when nothing changes.
You are right about Hamas having to be responsible now for things that go right and wrong, it will be at their doorstep. The Israeli's can give these people jobs and the entire area could prosper if they follow the Israeli's lead. we will see if they are stuck on stupid and hatred, or if they want to come into prosperity like most of the middle East is headed for at this time. They are in a lose, lose situation, and they know that Israel will dominate and put up the rest of the wall and blow them to Hell if they do not conform. when the palestinian's continue to be in Poverty when so many other Arab nations and Israel are prospering they will force leadership into changing.
