The raging civil conflict as reported by Jeremy Bowen of the BBC in Gaza owes its origins to that incompetent George Bush and his muddled foreign policy when it comes to Israel. It was Bush who cut off all aid to Hamas after the 2006 election when Hamas representatives were elected by the people in a democratic election. It was Bush who said the United States would never recognize Hamas as a valid government of Gaza. It was Bush who sided with Israel in saying that Hamas first had to recognize the State of Israel. The result of this "good versus evil" approach has been to strengthen the militants in Gaza and to convey to Hamas that the United States can never be counted on to engage in fair and equitable diplomacy with the elected representatives of the people.
