Why Democracy Is a Necessary But Insufficient Ingredient for a Peaceful Neighbor

The Jerusalem Post reports on the election results in Gaza.

The Islamic group Hamas won an overwhelming victory in local elections in 10 Gaza towns, election officials said Friday, in a setback for the Fatah Party of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

While the results may be a protest against the massive corruption in the Fatah party, it still put in power Hamas. This just heightens my belief that democracy is a necessary but insufficient condition for a peaceful, free country.
