I've Been Thinking:

Al Hayat, the London based Arabic newspaper, recently ran a piece in which it asserts that the leadership of Egypt and Jordan want to oust Hamas from power.

It seems that the Egyptians and Jordanians have lost patience with Hamas.
It seems that they see Hamas as a detriment, not as an asset, in the region.
It seems that Mubarak of Egypt and Abdullah of Jordan have come to the same conclusion independent of each other.

Egypt and Jordan have also concluded that Hamas is destabilizing the area by sponsoring terror.
They also included Iran and Syria on their lists of destabilizing forces.

Here is the big question:
If it seems obvious to the leaders of region that Hamas should be ousted,
why haven't the European Union, Russia and China come to the same realization?
Or are they just ignoring the obvious out of ulterior motives?
