Wait. Was not there a "road map" that was supposed to solve the Palestinia-Israel problem? What happened to it. Have not heard it mentioned in a while.

Yay! The road to democracy in the Middle East goes imperfectly! Right?

Free will allows people to make their own decisions, and they aren't always the best ones. So these things take time and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Life isn't a TV show - problems are not solved in the course of an hour.

They elected the people who build hospitals and schools, it's not any wonder. The power that controls the schools in any country, will eventually mold and shape that country's populace.

But did not Bush have a "road-map" what happened? HE turned it upside down when following it?

Guess the Palestinians took a wrong turn. Disappointing, but not enough for me to give up on encouraging free will.

We can always hope that actually being expected to govern something rather than just bombs things might settle Hamas down a little. I have an image in my head about a tough young gangster getting married and having a kid and suddenly realizing that he needs to put food on the table, and that he can't commit random acts of violence anymore because anyone can find his family. Maybe responsibility will teach them something.
