What will happen now in response to future events (or what those future events will be) isn't something that I think can really be known yet. If the US treats these folks equally, then they will be looked upon as honest peace broker by all parties. Just have to look at the Egyptian-Israeli peace accord. Hamas has proven to the world that they are a people's force. Hezbollah is doing the same. Unlike Al-Qaeda, they have participated in elections (by proxy in Lebanon off course) and have won people's support. I think the US needs to seize this opportunity and talk to both the Hezbollah and Hamas. Coaxing Hamas to recognize Israel before taking the oath of office is not a well chosen strategy. Give Hamas some time and they will come around. If the US continues to be Israel's proxy, then we have lost the game.
