Democracy is Inconvenient...

Some pretty disturbing news is coming out of the Palestinian elections. Looks like Hamas had a very big day. For a long time I'd been thinking that this is the major hole in Bush's pandering to freedom and democracy. If Bush had a more even-handed, diplomacy-slanted foreign policy, perhaps people wouldn't feel threatened by the US and vote for these extremists. The same thing is hapenning in Iraq, where the elected government is a little too cozy with Iran.

Freedom's on the march, except when it isn't.
