The US could not stop terrorists in Iraq -- and yet we had elections. And those elected represent the people of Iraq.

1 - I didn't say the Palestinians had to STOP the terrorists in their midst, but that they had to make a good faith effort to contain and suppress them and have some degree of success in that effort.

2 - It is in the long run the responsibility of the Iraqis to deal with their own terrorists. We share in that responsibility because we invaded the country and we are helping to suppress the terrorists but the main thing we can and will do in the long run is increase the Iraqi's ability to handle the situation themselves.

3 - The Palestinians also had elections.
