The advent of Hamas in Palestine might not necessarily mean the victory of terrorism. It might actually mean the fundamental belief which the Palestinians have with respect to Israel. Hamas in its charter clearly states that its ultimate agenda is to get Jerusalem back from Israel which is rebuked as a land encroacher whose existence should be wiped out from their land. It is very shocking for the USA to see that its prescribed panacea of all ills "The Democracy" has led to formation of those Governments which are totally against its hegemony. USA is fast loosing ground in its own backyard where the countries in South America like Venezuela, Bolivia, and Chile are all up against its might. Also the Iran Government which came after election is bitterly anti US. Similarly in Palestine the democracy has brought Hamas whose hatred for the USA is not unknown from anybody. The incumbent US presidents might be working for some short term gains for their country but they are putting up a blind eye towards the alienation which their country is facing from the rest of the world. Their thinking that their prowess would yield other countries has boomeranged on them and their relations have been strained with almost all the nations. It is a serious time for the USA which they can ill afford to overlook. Their status as an economic center for world is already dwindling due to emergence of powers like India and China. Adding to it the military fiasco this country creates every now and then does not augur well for them. Moreover the rigid stance of non-cooperation which USA has taken towards Hamas will only alienate it from the Middle East. It is really ironical to see that USA bombs another country in the guise of "War on Terror" and want to establish democracy there. And then when another country gets a democratically elected Government then they say we will not recognize them!
Al Qaeda has seized the initiative and now its top leaders do not talk to USA Government, they talk to the American people and try to incite their emotions by saying that the Government is responsible for killing of their sons and brothers. We should not expect any respite in the anti US sentiments as long as George Bush is in power who cannot see anything beyond his oil. So let us hope that some sane leader would lead them in the new decade and they would come out with policies which are unbiased towards any country and unprejudiced against anyone.
