The Palestinian state just had it's parliamentary elections. Lo and behold they elected mostly Hamas officials so far. If you live beneath a chunk of calcite, Hamas is the group in Palestine who is armed and violently opposed to the Israeli occupation.
Now the interesting thing is that our dear Mr. Bush had the balls to say that he wasn't going to recognize this group unless they disarmed themselves.
Hang on... This was a democratically elected group, elected by their own people... How again is the Us involved to the point where we can dole out an ultimatum? Weather they disarm or not is not even one little tiny bit of our concern! They are not a US principality, we have no jurisdiction over them.
How dare Bush think that he has the right to deliver this kind of message to a people he himself knows so very little about. (Did you actually WATCH his speech in Kansas? Not to mention that Kansas OVERWHELMINGLY voted for Bush, the questions all seemed to be pandering to his ego. Except for the one about the education budget being cut. Seemed to me that the guy didn't even RECALL that he had cut it by 12 billion. Acted like it was all news to him, asking for the question to be repeated... [click on Hearing Impaired]) The point is he's never seemed very informed about anything, ever, for any reason.
Here's the thing. Bush needs to stop talking out of his ass in regard to countries we have no invested interest in. Oh, well, I mean aside from pandering to the Jewish nation because his election depends on the millions of Jewish voters in America and the funds that the Israeli lobbyists are paying.
