I welcome the victory by Hamas

As has been reported in many other places, Hamas won a clear victory in yesterday's Palestinian election. An ugly, terrorist group of thugs are now the official government of the Palestinian Authority.

I welcome this development. Over the past 13 years, we have pretended that Fatah was a partner in the desire for peace. It was never true, but Arafat and his corrupt cronyies made enough side noises to allow people the fantasy.

Hamas is not so burdened. They are nothing more than a violent, radical Islamist cadre of killers.

Apparently, a clear majority of the Palestinian people prefer such leadership. At least now we can honestly evaluate who is on the other side of the table.
