Allowed to be free of terrorism? Well, I guess Obama really is a miracle worker.

Interesting that America, the Champions of Democracy, didn't fully agree with the outcome of the Palestinian elections. Remember those? Hamas won.1

I don't know what the best thing to do over there. I fear that unless the USA abandons Israel the Islamic extremists will always be after us. Did you see the news footage of the Palestinians dancing in the streets on 9/11?

I just don't see an end to this for Israel or the USA. We can pull out of Iraq, but I don't think that the conflict will end. It'll just move, I fear. Worst case: It moves here. I don't have any easy answers, none. I wish we could be allowed to live free of terrorism, but it's difficult to see Hamas and all the rest going into retirement.

Note 1. In the 2006 elections, Hamas took 74 seats to Fatah's 45, out of a total of 132.
