Letter: Backing Hamas into corner was bad move

Friday, June 22, 2007 | 9:14 a.m.

President Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, all "leaders" with approval ratings a breath above zero, are kibitzing among themselves like they have any influence on the incendiary events around them. Rome is burning, my blind friends.

Don't you wish now you had respected the outcome of elections and let Hamas try their hand at governing? Don't you regret starving Gaza of revenue due them? Now they're in control anyway at the point of a gun with a long to-do list. You backed this badger into a corner and now there will be hell to pay. There is nothing more dangerous than someone with nothing to lose.

I don't know how this current cycle of violence will end, but I am sure it will be another hot and bloody summer over there.
