I think the Palistinians voted for a change. The existing government lost it's "god" when Arafat died and there was nothing to vote for in Fatah. They voted for the only alternative which does provide them the social services never provided by the existing government. I doubt all those who voted for Hamas endorse all of Hamas policies. This is going to be a trying time BUT if a peace can be negotiated with Hamas it will actually work, they have and have had the real power for some time.
