Rainfall for the unrighteous

When Hamas took over the Gaza strip recently it established a militant Islamist terrorist organization on the border of a US ally and democracy.

This would be akin to Al Qaeda throwing out the government of Quebec. Wouldn't we be fools to expect anything but Trouble in that case?

It looks to me like our threats towards Iran, particularly those of John McCain, have emboldened the terrorists.

If our actions weaken our allies and strengthen our enemies can they be considered wise?

A consequence of Hamas' victory, at least in the short term, is attacks on Christians inside Gaza.

Jesus, we know, would turn the other cheek (Mathew 5:39) and perhaps offer Hamas a sandwich. I expect the response from president Bush will diverge slightly from that track.

I am left to wonder what tune the neocons will sing next.
