Metamorphosis
We are witnessing a phenomena that has happened many many times in history. The Palestinian elections are the middle stages of the shift from being a "terrorist" to being a "legitimate political force".
President Bush this morning faced a conundrum: How to reconcile all his soaring rhetoric about democracy with the democratic election victory of a radical Islamic group he has labeled as a terrorist organization?

The answer: Spin that conundrum away.
The words "terrorist organization" never came out of Bush's mouth in his hastily-called news conference, just hours after it became clear that Hamas won a huge upset victory in the Palestinian elections.
