To link our policy vs. global salafist groups and lump with with our policy towards Lebanon (and Hezbollah) and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (and Hamas) is part of the incompetence that is making everything worse.

To view those two groups as the same thing as AQ is part of why this phrase is so stupid and should be removed. Sadly people who think like you are the ones formulating policy. We can see how succesful they have been in Iraq. Yeah, lets spread that policy....

An Hamas is not the same as Hezb, and the taliban are not the same as AQ, and the GPSC is not the same as AQ, etc. HOwever for the US to legitimize some forms of radical Islamist terrorism while demonizing others, would lead to many contradictions in our policy. Even the Europeans have come to acknowledge this.

And again, many folks who opposed the war on Iraq support the rejection of Hamas and Hezb as long as they fail to renounce terrorism. So thats just a red herring, and a diversion from the issue at hand.

Again, what gave you the idea that the Dems had softened on Hamas?
