Sassy,
I'm one of those westerners who dislikes political correctness and still says what his freedoms grant him: yes the palestinians have elected Hamas democratically therefore they have to face the official policies they have chosen.
Here is a brief explanation of Hamas' charter:
Charters/Constitutions - FATEH Constitution - PLO Charter - Hamas Charter
Read it and tell me what you think of Hamas itself and of those who chose to vote their ways.
Still waiting for your explanation on who is more at home in the american continent between you and a native mexican you would like to see out of the US border....
