It pains me to say this, but I have profound reservations about the sincerity of any of the conciliatory rhetoric by the leadership of Hamas.
I think they're simply tailoring their pitch. Much like Amadenijad does, sad to say. Although I don't think he's as far gone as they are. A. might be jiving Hamas as much as he tries to jive Western liberals.
I do favor negotiations with the Iranian leadership- which isn't really Mr. A., thankfully. He's a lightweight. My reading is that the most intelligent of the Iranian leaders have an appreciation of life- a future in this existence, beyond merely martyrdom by force of arms as ticket to the glorious afterlife.
