#3 "It is forbidden for them to participate in the killing of other Muslims," he said.

Guess I must have misread that stuff about the Iran-Iraq War.

#4 Hamas urges moslems to attack. Ho hum. same old same old.

The real big headline will read "Hamas urges moslems to give hugs and flash toothy smiles"

#5 Three good things would come from Hamas rule:
1. Embarrass the Europeans who now send money to the PA based on the myth that it is not for terrorism (similar for Saudis).
2. Several hundred fatah thugs will likely be killed or banished
3. Hamas will fairly quickly lose credibility because they won't be able to fix infrastructure or destroy Israel, etc. so they'll eventually descend into the kind of govt. doublespeak that every other govt. tends to go to.
Also, for those who doubt it, Israel has agents in Hamas, too. Not as many as in Fatah, but partly that's because Fatah people are so cheap to bribe.

#6 Ya know, it is easy to shoot off one's mouth when the other person is not shooting back. When things heat up, there are at least two countries that will make Hamas a smoking hole in the ground and that will be the end of it. No words needed.

#7 Here's a conspiracy theory for you. David Shippers, Bubba's prosecutor, was interviewed in Chicago Mag last October. He actually hooked up w/Jayna Davis, who has put together circumstantial evidence that there was Iraqi involvement in Okla. City. Shippers thinks Hamas also had a hand in it. And Jayna's site still doesn't say that the FBI has turned over the tape of John Doe #2(?) to Specter's committee (I am assuming he's still head of it.)
