Hamas wins II

In all of today's commentary about Hamas winning the Palestinian election, no one has mentioned what impact this will have on the West's relations with Iran and its burgeoning nuclear program.

Although the ties between Iran and Hamas are not as strong as Iran's ties with Hezbollah, it's clear that the election of Hamas will embolden all of Israel's enemies in the Middle East.

Hopefully this will spurn the West to take action against Iran and move more quickly to dismantle the development of nuclear weapons now that Israel faces yet another political entity that is determined to destroy it.
