It's a Start...
From the WashPost:
Like I said, just give it a chance. If Hamas ends up trying to trick/back stab a person like Carter, then yeah, it'll be awhile before any US political figure should take them seriously again.
JERUSALEM, April 21 -- The radical Islamist movement Hamas is prepared to accept Israel as a neighbor as long as the Palestinian people approve the terms for peace, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said Monday following a trip to the region that included seven hours of controversial negotiations with the group.
Carter, the most prominent Westerner to publicly talk with Hamas, secured that agreement even as the group rejected his proposal for a unilateral, month-long cease-fire. Hamas, which has vowed to destroy Israel, also declined to meet with an Israeli deputy prime minister who has said he is interested in holding face-to-face talks on the fate of a kidnapped Israeli soldier.
