With little to no violence and high voter turnout throughout the region, it looks like the Palestinians have pulled off a successful election process. I was just read the piece from the BBC online, and it was so upbeat I couldn’t believe what I was reading.

The results of the election are still two or so weeks out. I am sure in the next week we will begin to have a sense of where things lye. Given the choice between the two, Fatah or Hamas, I am not sure if I would have voted. The reality of Hamas having any real say in the government is too scary. There is nothing like having a terrorist organization part of your coalition government. You have got to love democracy mid-east style.
