The Mourners of Bin Laden
(Washington Post) Jackson Diehl - It's worth taking note of those who are loudly condemning the U.S. raid that eliminated bin Laden. The predictable reactions by known terrorist organizations ought to be deeply troubling for a host of Western diplomats who lately have been promoting the idea that Hamas is a suitable partner for peace negotiations. Moreover, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is agreeing to form a joint Palestinian government with a man who has just condemned the U.S. killing of "Arab holy warrior" bin Laden. Should the mourner of bin Laden be recognized as a worthy partner for peace with Israel, or a potential leader of a new Arab state?
