A BBC headline that caught my eye today:

Hamas attacks Israel border plan

Doesn’t that last word make all the difference in the world? Maybe Hamas won’t make a very cooperative Palestinian Authority, but just try comparing today’s headline with the headline we would have had before Hamas decided to go semi legit – just chop off the last word.
