In my view, he's a newsperson. Nothing more.
Bush made a mistake in allowing Hamas to run, in violation of the Oslo Accords. However, as you put it, democratic process blows up in your face, yes, you can pick up your marbles and go home. The US has no obligation to Hamas, supporting a government in which Hamas participates is in violation of our commitment to Oslo. I'll leave the Road Map nonsense out of it. I'm not thrilled with the Bush administration on lots of things, including this one, but it's perfectly legitimate to withold aid from a terrorist state. We have no existing policy to support terrorists. IMO a terrorist state for at least a decade, if the Bush admisistration is just getting clued in, so be it. Remember, if you or I were to support Hamas, we'd go to jail. Pat is way off base here.
I did not say you called Buchanan a Nazi, but that there are people posting on this thread who have.
And, if he has issues with Israel, so what? Israel is a foreign government that acts in their own best interest, which in MANY cases are not in the best interest of the United States.
...but it's perfectly legitimate to withhold aid from a terrorist state.
Of course it is. And we will. All Buchanan is saying is that the new Palestinian government has to demonstrate its terrorist nature before the aid can be pulled. He said virtually the same thing as Bush in his state of the union speech.
I suggest you reread his article.
