Re: Hamas sweeps to election victory
I really don't know what to make of this.
On the one hand the no-dealing-with-terrorists-rule that I can understand up to a point, on the other hand they have a legimate electoral base now, so doesn't it make them freedom fighters instead?
Should they be excluded from any talks? They are the only partner there is now, if you want to find a solution.
Also voter fraud, they are now being elected and they were so by the people on their harsh standpoints, now for outside governments to demand from them to set aside these harsh views, would be some sort of voter fraud.
It doesn't make the situation any easier, I guess.
Well I guess it does prove these statements:
Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.
