Heavy Monday Irony
Noted by Tim Blair.
As I've mentioned before-- it is much harder to actually govern than it is to carp about how the other guys don't know how to govern. Hamas is learning that first hand.
And I have to admit there is a certain macabre fascination to watching the Palestinians blow themselves up rather than blowing up Israelis. I'd like to think that some sort of centrist/realist group of Palestinians will arise from the chaos and death and say "Enough! Enough death! Let us for once focus on living, on our future, on our children!" But I am cynically inclined to think that such will not be the case.
