Good News: The United States has cut off ties with the Hamas-run government of the Palestinians and instructed its staff not to have contact with ministries controlled by Hamas members.
Bad News: They're going to do their damndest to cirumvent this meaningful step in the War On Terrorism by maintaining contacts with Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO, UNRWA, and every other proxy that has been set up to funnel goods and services to the enemies of civilization, religious tolerance, and freedom.
They have learned nothing from dealing with meaningless figurehead criminals like Ahmed Chalabi.
I still think that every time Bush wants to give the Palestinians money, he should be forced to hand it to them in cash. Personally.
