Moderate Muslims are those who support terrorists but don't directly commit terrorist acts. Islam must be destroyed.

"As democracy takes root, the responsibilities of governing will have a moderating influence on those who assume power in free elections. It's easier to be a martyr than a mayor or a cabinet minister," he said.

It certainly did not work out that way for a certain Austrian corporal.

The danger is when a mayor or cabinet minister still wants to be a martyr. Attacking Israel or the US could manage that quite nicely.

A similarity between that Corporal and the boys who are Hamas is that they want to kill Jews, as many as they can, as fast as they can, whenever they can. Not too surprising since their is a direct line of descent from the Nazis to Hamas, via the Muslim Brotherhood and a couple of other spin offs from the MB.

US President George W. Bush suggested overnight that being in government might have "a moderating influence" on the radical group Hamas in the wake of its victory in Palestinian legislative elections.

Please Lord, let someone convince me that Bush is smarter than that.

HAMAS will never be any more moderate than Saddam will ever be humbly repentant for his crimes against humanity. The word "moderation" isn't in the Islamic dictionary.

"When you're responsible for building roads and bridges and power stations and educating people and providing health, you're less likely to blow up health clinics and schools and bridges," he said.

Was our President under the impression that the palestinians were blowing up their OWN clinics, schools and bridges? Or is he suggesting that Hamas, after enduring the arduous process of governing, will empathize with the Israelis and forgo its eternal ambition to rid the world of the Jews?

Honestly. What in the hell are you talking about, Mr. President? This is HAMAS.

"As democracy takes root, the responsibilities of governing will have a moderating influence on those who assume power in free elections. It's easier to be a martyr than a mayor or a cabinet minister," he said."

If he believes this, we are in grave danger with him in charge. Carter was disgustingly weak but Bush is disgustingly naive which will lead him to make decisions destructive to this country.

I can't wait to see how the bushbots will blindly defend this idiocy.

I wonder if LImbaugh or O'reille ywill mention this on Monday.

Now I understand why he sacrificed so many American lives in Iraq to create a democracy. He thinks it is some kind of magic thing that changes murdering fanatics into gentlemen. IN his mind this is the solution to terrorism. He'll still believe it after Iraq becomes a rabid anti american theocracy with Sadr as the leader.

>""In democracies, elected leaders must deliver real change in people's lives or the voters will boot them out at the next election time. It's a lesson that the leaders of Hamas will now have to learn," he said."

When will the leaders of Hamassachusettes learn this lesson? Then again I suppose Teddy did make a real change in MJKs life, and Skerry JoKerry is a natural remedy for insomnia!

"When you're responsible for building roads and bridges and power stations and educating people and providing health, you're less likely to blow up health clinics and schools and bridges,"

I don't recall the nazis becoming less violent when they took governing control of the state.

The time consumed for Bush to figure out he is wrong on this could be as costly as the time consumed by Chamberlain in WWII. Hopes for Hamas to moderate are terribly wrongheaded. Right now atrocity loving muslims throughout the middle east are throwing buckets of money at Hamas, knowing full well it will be used for terrorism.

[prophetic]

he being a POLITICIAN alright!

[TChad]

Some posters here are reacting as though Bush said that he thought it likely that Hamas would become less extreme. He didn't say that.

[kenth]

It was not but a week or two ago that, in referring to democrats, the President said, to paraphrase, "One has to lead as things are, not as they wish them to be."

A moderate Hamas is nothing but wishful thinking.

As democracy takes root, the responsibilities of governing will have a moderating influence on those who assume power in free elections. It's easier to be a martyr than a mayor or a cabinet minister...

I am not so certain Mr. President. I would not bet on any moderating effect. These guys have lived all their life for one thing: destroy Israël. They will just reformulate their doctrine in a more digestible form at best. (Is Arafat already forgotten?)

Anyway, looking at the Bush administration from far away, I am more and more getting the impression of a gradually less focused policy, of more mistakes and errors of judgement, from the refusal to positively support the cartoon controversy to the useless trip of Miss Rice in the ME, and not forgetting the UAE PR issue. I just dont like some of the signals given. I just dont get it any more. But this is only me of course. I may simply not be intellectually up to the task!


Now go ahead, blast the moronic european leftist creep.....LOL

"As democracy takes root (in the Muslim world)"

HA! What a JOKE!

These people don't want freedom, they want martyrdom.

"When you're responsible for building roads and bridges and power stations and educating people and providing health, you're less likely to blow up health clinics and schools and bridges," he said

Maybe. But that doesn't mean it will stop you from killing your enemies wherever you can find them.

In the case of Hamas, those whom they consider their enemies live right next door. Besides, why would they hesitate for a second blowing up health clinics, schools and bridges that belong to Jews if they thought doing so would also kill the Jews inside them?

he is completely hopeless and useless asa leader of the free world if he really believes this
