Even Terrorists Can Win Elections

Despite the celebration of democracy flourishing across the Middle East several months ago, there's very little mention of these stories on the conservative blogs today.

From Reuters:
"The Bush administration is showing signs of easing its hard-line approach toward Hamas, in response to the militant group's rising political clout in the Palestinian territories and appeals for flexibility from European allies, officials and diplomats said.

"The White House acceded to Hamas running candidates in Palestinian elections, even though the group has refused to disarm and Washington lists it as a major terrorist organization."
From the Associated Press:
"Hezbollah and its Shiite allies claimed a clean sweep in the second stage of national election held Sunday in southern Lebanon, a vote the militant group hopes will prove its strength and send a message of defiance to the United States."
