By all accounts, the election of Hamas was orderly and well executed. Let's please remember the fact that Yassar Arafat was the leader of the PLO. He was the Osama bin Laden of his time and later became a welcome visitor to the White House.

Just because we don't agree with someones point of view on certain issues doesn't mean that they don't want the same things that we want. I know that Hamas stated goal is the destruction of Israel (so was the PLO's). The fact remains that all people want to live according to their beliefs and be able to raise their families.

The only way there will be peace in this region is the establishment of a Palestinian state. The Israeli's will never give up Jeruselem and that will always be a point of contention. Israel will never allow a Palestinian state to happen, so this is a neverending story.

Tolerance is required and there is none in that part of the world.

seems to me that there's a bit to much focus on beliefs and not enough on living.
