The Mid-East problem started in 1967. Hamas was duly elected democratically. The US and Israel have interfered with this election by their stated goals, "Manifest Destiny" in the Mid-East and it's not just about oil either. That said, I wouldn't want to live under Hamas as I've stated earlier. I don't subscribe to Sharia Law.

I say that even with democratic elections, both Israel and Palestine are theocracies, not democracies.
