Pragmatism is soooo over rated. This line was good for a chuckle. The europeans will officially recognize Hamas within 6 months. And our State department will follow suit, after the images of "suffering" are broadcast worldwide.

You honestly think that Hamas is going to be able to maintain control for the next 6 months. Hamas screwed over the Fatah Party. Most of the Palestinian police/paramilitary forces are Fatah Party members.

Civil War is going to break out there.

Yup. The blue helmets will have to go in. LOL!

Yes. They have been colluding for years. It will be very difficult to determine the exact moment that civil war breaks out. If one defines 40% unemployment, government instability, no civil rights policies, lack of a common currency, and poor relations with the international community at large as constituting civil war; it has been there since 1967. America did the correct thing in not interfering, and allowing the "Palestinians" to go whole hog. They voted and chose. A result of that may be international isolation. It is NOT up to America to fix their mistake. Kind of like it should not have been Syria in Lebanon.
