#1 We're going to have to avert our gaze at times as Arab elections will not always provide anybody to root for. Reuel Marc Gerecht's recent columns and new book claim it's still in our long term interest to let this play out and hope these organizations evolve into political parties. I've found him to be one of the more reliable commentators. We should get him for the next Rantburg thing in DC!

The only evolution that is likely to happen is that Hamas is going to grow a "political wing". The terrorist body will still prefer terrorism in order to advance its agenda.
