Wrong. In fact, I believe he was the one that pursued free elections giving theme the ability to elect a government the Gaza citizens saw fit to rule. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong one....which is why they find themselves in the position they are in now. I think I'm done now... :) One other thing…I find it interesting they say Bush has “ignored” the Palestinian issue. Wrong.

Where to begin. So much here it's impossible to start. 1. They should not be involved in our election process. 2. They are incredibly misguided as to what/who will bring them peace. 3. They should be using their resources and energy ousting the group their people elected. That'd be Hamas. 4. That dude in the middle of the video that was interviewed had my last name...could quite possibly be a relative of mine. 5. Bush is not the reason for their lack of peace. They've bought into the lies and misconceptions their leaders have spouted. 6. It's awesome to see there is a group of young Gazan's interested in the political process instead of strapping bombs to themselves. 7. The BBC should have done a complete report instead of a half report here...what is it in Obama's political creed that gives these Gazan's false hope? They didn't bother to say. It is nice to see Palestinians interested in achieving some sort of peace (however misguided it may be). The initial reaction for many of us is to assume people like this are associated with terrorism...that's not always the case. These folks just seem like misguided misinformed young Palestenians tired of their conditions and just want to live a peaceable life. Wow. Where to begin. So much here it’s impossible to start.
