"The cutoff has left the Palestinian government [Hamas, terrorist organization] virtually broke and increasingly unable to provide basic services"

This is great news, why are we going to aid terrorists? WTF

My beliefs changed a lot once that I read Natan Sharanksy's book "The Case for Democracy".

From that book, just because there's a "free" vote doesn't mean that there is a democracy because the institutions are not in place so that people can be free. Clearly, the institutions in "Palestine" and Iraq did not meet that minimal criteria.

I am sure that Bush knows this because it was one of his favorite books and he invited Sharansky to the White House. I am guessing that he figured that these forced elections before the foundation for democracy existed was better than having nothing.

It's not a perfect world.

"This bunch gets dumber every day"

We are well past dumber, we are in an uncharted, never before reached, areas of stupid.

We are fighting the War on Terror and we are aiding terrorists? So we don't look mean? WTF

I was in Singapore years ago and remember the Straits Times quoting Lee Kwan Yew back in 1993 ~

"We give you the freedom to vote, but along with that freedom comes a responsibility... A responsibility to vote for the correct party"
