The Administration had pushed for elections in places like the Palestinian territories where the essential components of democracy-a free press, a free economy, the rule of law-did not exist. Religious parties had won, or gained momentum, in most of these elections, and the U.S. had backtracked, refusing to accept the Hamas victory in the Palestinian territories, re-embracing...
