with not one (Iraq), not two (Lebanon), but an amazing THREE (Gaza) civil wars raging in the Middle East, and with the summer about to get hotter, it seems that the most intriguing one, at this point, is what's going on in Gaza.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A beleaguered Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared a state of emergency and disbanded the Hamas-led unity government after the Islamic militant group vanquished its Fatah rivals and effectively took control of the Gaza Strip on Thursday.
Fearful that Hamas' momentum could spread to the West Bank, Fatah went on the offensive there, rounding up three dozen Hamas fighters.
It was a day of major victories for Hamas and its backers in Iran and Syria — and of devastating setbacks for the Western-backed Fatah. In one particularly humiliating scene, masked Hamas fighters marched agents of the once-feared Preventive Security Service out of their headquarters, arms raised in the air, stripped to the waist and ducking at the sound of a gunshot.
Abbas, of Fatah, fired the Hamas prime minister and said he would install a new government, replacing the Hamas-Fatah coalition formed just three months ago. Abbas' decrees won't reverse the Hamas takeover of Gaza. Instead, his moves will enable Fatah to consolidate its control over the West Bank, likely paving the way for two separate Palestinian governments.
Because Fatah has recognized Israel's right to exist and signed on to past peace agreements, the international community's boycott of the Palestinian territories in the wake of Hamas' electoral successes may no longer apply to the West Bank — just to Gaza. Some 2 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, while 1.4 million reside in Gaza.
Hamas' success has thrown into turmoil everything from Mideast peacemaking to Palestinian statehood to relations with Israel and the West.
"The era of justice and Islamic rule has arrived," Hamas spokesman Islam Shahawan said.[/q]
aside from the fact that, once again, the Iraq critics have been proven accurate once again -- greater regional instability -- what's interesting is what to do about the Islamist threat of more terrorism by Hamas, and what to do about those Palestinians yearning to breathe the sweet air of democracy.
i say we invade. what will happen if we don't? things will get worse, obviously, so we must invade. Al-Qaeda is gaining a foothold in Gaza and will be able to launch attacks directly into Israel. they'll soon have another stronghold in the Middle East, so they must be stopped.
how? invasion.
we've been told -- in here, and at every Republican debate -- that we must continue to occupy Iraq, indefinately, so that the terrorists don't have a new breeding ground like they did in post-Soviet Afghanistan. and things will only get worse if we leave. we must occupy places that are in danger of becoming terrorists states, lest we have to fight them in our streets instead of theirs. just listen to Giuliani! they want to kill us, all of us, because they hate our freedom. if we don't occupy any and all failed states which are sure to become new training camps for Al-Qaeda, then we will all die. and the West will die.
the lesson is: without dictators, or babysitting, all Muslim nations become failed states that breed terrorists. who want to kill blond american babies.
so on to Lebanon. we'll occupy.
and then a dealing with Iran. we know they train Shiite militias. we know they support Hamas.
so what do we do? bomb, invade, and occupy.
the bloodier it gets, the steelier our resolve must be. more troops. more bombs. more tanks. more planes. we need a draft. and to double military spending. for if we leave, it will get even worse than it is already getting. so we must occupy and expand an empire who only expands in order to be safer within it's borders.
or else the terrorists win.
