Civilizzare Hamas?

Scott MacMillan si chiede se Hamas verra' addomesticato , attraverso la partecipazione al gioco democratico. Certo, come no, anche Hitler e Lenin vennero addomesticati... anche se, a voler essere onesti, questa tattica ha avuto qualche sporadico successo:

The movement now speaks of pluralism and civil liberties, although its supporters still hate Jews, call the Holocaust "a myth," and dismiss al-Qaida as "an illusion." A similar shift took place in Tunisia between 1975 and 1990, when the national Islamist movement adopted more liberal positions on women's rights and democratic reforms as the government temporarily relaxed its repression.

NB: continuo a pensarla allo stesso modo di qualche post fa
