RagingAnura,
I think democracy, freedom, and justice are worth a great deal.
Since Hamas was fairly elected, we should work out our differences with them
instead of ignoring the will of their people. We need to stand on our principles to gain
their respect and trust and avoid their wrath. Their wrath is counter productive to our
interests. Everyone has both seeds of violence and seeds of reason in them. If we
employ provocative measures it will invoke their seeds of violence. By staying true
to our principles we will command their respect and bring out their ability to reason.
Nonviolent and nonprovocative actions require courage and patience but they bring results.
Violence has been used in that region for too long and nothing but misery comes of it.
Perhaps only the arms dealers like the situation there.

Matt,
Our own principles of democracy and justice aren’t worth a peanut (pun intended) if the people or institutions we deal with do not recognize them beyond empty speeches.

Refusing to entertain relationships with people who are self-avowedly our enemies is a right and a principle we should use whenever necessary. Such is the case now.

I think President Carter is concerned that we may be going againsts our own priciples of
democracy, freedom, and justice.
