Legitimately elected government and legitimate government are two very different concepts. Responsibility has now been heaped on Hamas's back to govern. Before now, they were antagonists. Transitioning from antagonist to responsible governor is like a movie critic becoming a director. Sure it can happen... but the opening act will determine if the audience is going to sit through the entire showing.
Good post. BTTT.
The "legitimacy" was tongue in cheek. I think that Hamas has gotten more than they bargained for. It will give nations with the stones, a nation against which to declare war. Something the left always says doesn't exist in their so called illegal war on terror.
