Hamas and Israel

The Middle East is now a tinderbox. Why? Because Hamas, a terrorist organization, has been chosen in an apparently free election to lead the Palestinians. Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel. We don't negotiate with terrorists. Israel will not allow a government on it's border committed to its destruction. Sharon is out of commission.

Put all these facts together and what is the likely result?

The U.S. should not provide funds to Hamas. The peace process is dead. Palestinians will look to the other Islamic regimes for their support. When all is said and done, I think we have the makings of serious war. Sad.

Here's what the Christian Science Monitor has to say. No optimism here.

The man on the street says: "It's so sad, we don't know what the future of our country will be," says taxi driver Kamal Abu Foz. "The international community and Israel won't deal with Hamas, and Hamas can't deliver us a state."
