Hamas

So it has hit the fan again...Jordan and Palestine, and a call to take sides has come up.
I for one don't believe the story being told by our government. I find it to flimsy, and to well timed for it to be the honest-to-God truth. I don't know if I like being put with the conspiracy theory people, I don't usually go for them-conspiracy theories, bas I think it is very clear, that the Jordanian government-like all the other Arab governments-has been facing a lot of pressure from the West, telling it not to deal with the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Hamas government-and has thus tried to find a way out!
I don't know what I really feel about this whole thing, I am disappointed in our government, I think that it has made a grave mistake, that it should not have canceled the visit...or maybe more to the point, it can cancel (sorry postpone) the visit, but not come up with this tale to do it.
One has to only look at how Hamas has been lately to know that it would not do this, I have been studying this movement for three years now, and I might not agree with everything it stands for, but one thing I truly respect is the fact that it has NEVER taken its battle with Israel outside of Palestine. I don't see how Hamas would benefit as a new government, with all the international pressure on it, to take the battle into Jordan? This movement is extremely pragmatic, and very practical, there is no reasoning-far nor short-that would explain Hamas smuggling these weapons. Some have stated that it might be a cadre of Hamas that wants to ruin its relations with Jordan-again I don't see the logic (and if you don't like this word) then the strategy behind them doing this.
I think it is a fabrication, and I think it is a sad attempt at that. Its fucking awful that one Arab government would deal with another Arab government in such a fifth grade fashion.
