Stumbling Block For Mideast Peace

Boy, just when you thought things were getting peaceful between Israel and Palestine. I mean, after all, Sharon and Abbas have been talking tough about peace, and there haven't been a whole of shootings and incursions and the usual gratuitous violence we're used to.


And then come the local elections in Gaza, where the militant group Hamas has gained control of seven out of the councils. This may prove to be a substantial political challenge to the newly elected president, Mahmoud Abbas. But it's okay, because they're democratically-elected terrorists.

Keep watch, my brethren. Keep watch.
