Not his fault either, though.

I say let them deal with their own politics. If it ever comes to a real shooting match with Israel, Palestine will cease to exist. Of course, we'll be in the awkward position of keeping the rest of the Arab world off Israel's back, but Palestine itself isn't that big of a worry right now.

Democracy isn't always pretty, but it's still the best option.

Ideally Bush has nothing to do with Pal elections. Unfortunately, he claims to have American troops on the ground in the Middle-East to democratize the region. I know that sounds absurd but he seriously claims that is the case.
