I think the point is that if Pals had "real" democracy, the most extreme factions of Hamas would be in charge now. So you should be happy with what you have already and encourage more of the same so that eventually it will become the real choice of Pals. Incidentally, if Israel is so much after a democratic Palestine, how come they did not establish one in decades past? They could have "forced" self autonomy on Pals and deal only with real democratically elected officials...I mean if Bush's ambition to bring democracy to 27 million people in a vast geographic area with conflicting ethnic groups sounds reasonable to you, why didn't Israel try it on Palestinians who are orders of magnitude easier to handle than Iraqis?
