No matter what puppets do, they never go far enough. This is from an editorial in WSJ: ""There is no dialogue with these murderous terrorists." That's how Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, characterized his attitude toward Hamas after the radical Islamist party seized control of the Gaza Strip. For a holder of his office, this was a first: honest condemnation of behavior that everyone except Palestinians themselves -- plus a few British news agencies -- know as "terrorism." That condemnation will no doubt assuage concerns within the Bush Administration that the tens of millions of dollars it is now releasing to Mr. Abbas's government will be money well-spent. It should think again. Mr. Abbas may have expelled Hamas from government, but the Fatah party he also leads has terrorist links of its own, not to mention a 40-year reputation for corruption. If "supporting Fatah" is now the Administration's policy, we are in for rougher times ahead." (thanks G)
