So when Bush choose the Church of the Nativity today to sing the virtues of Palestinian autonomy...

In a courtyard next to the centuries-old church in Manger Square, Bush voiced hope a future state would bring an end to Israeli security measures, allowing Palestinians far greater freedom. "Some day, I hope that as a result of the formation of a Palestinian state, there won't be walls, and checkpoints. People will move freely in a democratic [Palestinian] state," Bush said... After voicing confidence in achieving an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal this year, Bush traveled by helicopter to Bethlehem, a town whose lifeblood tourist industry has been hit hard by the past seven years of violence between the sides.

... do you think anyone mentioned how the democratically elected Hamas government actually does set up regular roadblocks to block people from getting medical care and to facilitate terrorism?

Or how the Palestinians desecrated and set fire to the Church of the Nativity, staying in there for 38 days, using the 40 or so priests and nuns as human shields, defecating everywhere and using Bibles as toilet paper, and packing it with weapons and explosives? Because that part is also kind of ironic.
