Prospects for Peace in the Middle East?

"Thus the prospect that Hamas, a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, will either rise to power in the Palestinian elections on January 25 or will come close is fully consistent with the regional trend.

One must bear in mind that various of the authoritarian regimes in the Middle East -- Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq(?), etc. -- have blocked popular efforts to establish Islamic fundamentalist regimes. Our present administration seems to have been oblivious to the likely outcomes of its stirring of the pot over there? How can one identify 'enemies' in such a mixed and muddled situation? Ed Kent
