Could it be? Could our illustrious President finally be doing something I like!? I mean, lately, he’s been really pissing me off and striking out at the ole plate o’ politics. But this? This is downright revolutionary!

WASHINGTON - The way ahead appears bumpy and uncertain, but the Bush administration will resume its search for a formula to bring peace to the Middle East following the jolting triumph of Hamas in Palestinian parliamentary elections.

One potential step is already clear — both President Bush and members of Congress may consider halting the millions of dollars in aid the U.S. has been sending the Palestinians annually in recent years.

The toughest task facing the United States is determining whether the peace process can proceed, and if so, how. The Bush administration, which has a policy of not dealing with terrorist organizations, would have to find a way to negotiate with the Palestinians without talking directly to Hamas.

The militant Islamic group is sworn to destroy Israel and has conducted numerous terrorist operations against that country.

Urging Hamas to renounce terrorism, which the late Yasser Arafat did under U.S. urging in 1988, Bush said, “If your platform is the destruction of Israel it means you are not a partner in peace. And we’re interested in peace.”

HOLY SWEET JESUS. Didn’t I just suggest this yesterday?

Please do it.

Pretty please!?
