I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.

I have looked at public opinion polls in France in the late 1940s and early 1950s during the height of Marshall Plan aid. They had a very negative attitude towards the United States then.

I don't think the president should base his foreign policy on American public opinion polls, let alone foreign public opinion polls.
