I don’t agree with much of what President Bush has done in his years in the oval office as in 2004 I didn’t vote for him in hopes of him being defeated, again. But no luck as he won, as I thought he would, as no standing president has lost while the United States was at war. Even though Bush has had his problems, especially with the invasion of Iraq and the bungling of Hurricane Katrina, the one main thing I believe he has done right and will probably be his legacy is laying the groundwork for democracy in the Middle East with Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine. But the last “country� Palestine and its recent election which ushered in Hamas begs the question: what happens when democracy ushers in an elected terrorist organization? Hamas is just that but won on the platform of building a better community within Palestine. The United States has said it will give a strict set of guidelines for them to continue to give Palestine aid. It will be an interesting time in the next few months to see how this plays out. Will the Hamas militia be integrated in the Palestinian guard, will they recognize Israel as a state, and how will the violence towards the Israelis be affected: increase or decrease, and will it help or hinder the ever so touchy peace process that has broken down so many times in the past? All questions that will be answered in the time to come. The powers that be in Washington were surprised, as everyone was, and I don’t think was to thrilled when Hamas won the election, can you imagine if the Taliban was elected after the war in Afghanistan and democracy was instilled? Democracy, in its true form is a representation of the people, but I don’t think Bush envisioned a terrorist organization winning an election when installing democracy is one method used to eradicate them.
