Educating Hamas?

I don't understand the conflict going on between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. I see what's going on and the strategy each side is pursuing, but I can't claim to have a true grasp of everything involved and behind it. Who can?

Besides Friedman, that is. His column in this morning's NY Times is a helpful piece of writing when it comes to getting a handle on the recent blowout. It's easy enough when we see the carnage on TV to cry out and raise fists and make judgments, but those judgments are inevitably wrong.

Read this piece. And look forward with hope that the incoming administration in this country can do something to change the way life works over there.
