You forget the rest of his quote

Elaborating later at a news conference, Powell said Hamas "has a social wing that does good things." He said Hamas would be a different organization if it gave up its weapons and abandoned terrorism.

As for what he ment by good things, first I would like to hear what exactly he meant by his comment

Of *course* hamas would be a different group without their weapons and violence -- those little details are what define them!

So, by the same putative logic, if we can just convince al qaeda to give up weapons and abandon violence, they'd be a viable and legitimate political force in Afghanistan and elsewhere in that region?
