Dumped into the Friday afternoon cycle is this cryptic post on National Review Online from editor Kathryn Jean Lopez concerning material that appeared on their military blog, preposterously named “The Tank”.

Hezbollah will control and Hamas won the fair election. Now I know the Bush propaganda says hate these people but if you believe in Democracy I say deal with it.

What's that say about the United State's form of Democracy.
