I don’t think the election thing is a good measure of much. It was orchestrated by Bush and Abbas for the most part to separate Hamas from Fatah so Fatah could massacre the lot of them. And we and Israel would only have to deal with the P.A… a less violent alternative.

Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way, but not half bad a plan.

Besides, Cuba had an election too. Did you know that 99% of Cubans voted for Castro! It’s true!

Iran had elections too!

Elections, shmelections.

Hamas was elected, alright and they made no secret about what they stood for and what their plans were.

Being elected does not confer legitimacy on the winner.

Hitler came to power by manipulating the democratic electoral process.
