Give 'em a state...

Hamas may be lunatic, but it is definitely not a fringe. Here is AP's description of their latest position:

Also Saturday, the Islamic militant group Hamas marked its 17th anniversary with a march through the streets of the West Bank city of Nablus by thousands of supporters - some carrying flags and pictures of Hamas leaders killed in fighting with Israel.

Dozens of gunmen and several hundred Hamas members in military fatigues burned a life-sized cardboard replica of an Israeli tank as the crowd cheered.

"Hamas will continue to resist with arms until Palestine is liberated from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea," said Hamas spokesman Ahmad Hajj Ali, adding that Hamas will not yield to demands by the Palestinian leadership to stop attacks against Israel.

"We warn anyone who tries to disarm the resistance movements because Israel only understand the language of war," he said.

...And this are the people to whom Bush wishes to give a sovereign state?
