Comments on "Oh, No!"
We can only hope that the "Hamas" reaction is as depicted. I'm not so sure that fanatics really worry about actually governing, when they get the chance.
Oh?
Hitler
Stalin
Mussolini
Pinochet
Robespierre
Mugabe

Re hired hand's reply, that's what I mean. I don't think Hitler or Stalin thought "oh no". I think they though "oh boy". The more the tragedy for the rest of us.
For some odd reason, fanatics are rarely taken at their word, although they are usually pretty open about their desires.
