Ted, <To my knowledge, Hamas's stated purpose is the creation of an independent Palestinian state.> Hamas' stated purpose is to take back "historic Palestine," i.e. all of Israel. They're not going to negotiate with Israel, since that would mean recognizing Israel's right to exist as an independent state. They don't want that, and don't let them fool you into believing otherwise. <If they aim to destroy Israel, I don't think suicide bombings are terribly effective.> Well, yeah, but then again flying planes into the World Trade Center is not going to make the world more Muslim, either. Neither is amassing weapons of mass murder and using them on your own citizens, not to mention neighboring states. You are making a key mistake: assuming these guys will listen to reason. They are tempted with power. They are tempted with promises of paradise in exchange for mass murder. How do you reason or negotiate with them? Tenchusatsu
