Dog Catches Car

You know the old joke about the dog that chases cars – “What would he do if he caught one?�? I was reminded of that when I read that Hamas won an election victory. I imagine a room full of Hamas leaders looking at each other behind closed doors and saying, “Oh crap, we won.�?

And I imagine the Israeli leaders sitting around behind closed doors and saying, “It just got a lot easier to find the people we want to kill.�?

I have to think it will be difficult for Hamas to reconcile the whole “destroy Israel�? platform with “We’ll all be at the Parliament building at noon talking about how to do it.�?

I’m writing this on Thursday the 26th. I predict that Hamas will start softening their position by the time you read this. Or maybe they’ll wait a few weeks just to make it seem like they thought about it. But it’ll happen.
