Hamas is the democratically-elected government in the Palestinian Authority. I thought that was the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy to promote democracy?


Actualy it makes all Palestinians fair targets, since they are no longer civillians.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
