Do you think that the folks in the Bush administration believes in democracy in Hamastan? If so, they need their heads examined.
There are only two types of people who think the Hamas election idicates a failure of Bush's policy of promoting democracy in the Middle East:
1. People who have a prejudice against the president anyway.
2. People who are dumb enough to think of Fatah as anything more legitimate than Hamas Lite.
Also, none of the proposed tactics to deal with the election results reject the decision; they merely bring the deserved consequences to the mopes who elected Hamas.
