The Mess in Gaza

It's a bit difficult to grasp just what's going on in Gaza right now, but it's beginning to look like outright warfare between the Fatah and Hamas, the two Palestinian camps. This is certainly not doing the Palestinians any good whatsoever, and I suspect it is the direct result of the embargo that's been put on the Palestinians by Bush and Israel. We're going to end up with a completely failed state there that will be a breeding ground for terrorists of every stripe.

Things weren't good in the Middle East when Bush took over, but they're about a hundred times worse now.
