I suppose something "more than military force" means negotiating with the sane, peaceful, ready-to-compromise fellows seen here occupying the office of the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas?

HAMAS is nothing more than a bumbling, the gang-that-couldn't-shoot-straight version of Al Qaeda. If one cannot rationally negotiate with a bunch of looney-toons terrorists like HAMAS that at least have a geographical nexus, how does Brown propose to do something more than militarily with an amorphous, more barbaric force like Al Qaeda in Iraq? What a maroon!

Now to Michael Moore.

Brown also had a message to the UK people on its health care system:

Britain's Gordon Brown

Britain's Prime Minister-in-waiting Gordon Brown speaks to members of the public during a Healthcare for London event in London, Saturday June 23, 2007. Ahead of his move to No 10, Gordon Brown said the Government could do better on ensuring people have access to health services, and promised 'we'll do our best' to strengthen the National Health Service.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Michael Moore just do a fluff-piece called Sicko (1) supposedly showing how great the Health Care System is in the UK? And I need to ask, What people need to be "ensured to have access to health services" that are not getting it now? And did Michael Moore report on it? Or did he only see the bright side of things? I thought Mr. Moore was this great investigative documentary film-maker. Or is he only interested in finding things wrong in America? What a maroon!

Right Truth,
Thank you Hamas, and other Muslim news

Thank you Hamas for showing your true colors to the world, again. You wage a deadly attack and coup on Fatah, and yesterday Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, former prime minister of the Palestinian government dismissed by President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, has the nerve to call for renewed talks between the factions. However, Abbas isn't falling for your line. It could be that Abbas remembers that nasty assassination attempt you tried, hmm?

Wiki,
Sicko (film)

Some Canadian critics did not like Michael Moore's glamorizing the Canadian health care system. Peter Howell, in The Toronto Star, wrote: "Sicko makes it seem as if Canada's socialized medicine is flawless and that Canadians are satisfied with the status quo." Howell wrote that he and other Canadian journalists criticized Moore for inaccurately contending that Canadians only had to wait for minutes for health care, rather than much longer waiting periods.

Michael C. Moynihan, an editor at the libertarian Reason magazine, writes that while Moore presents other nations' health-care systems as close to perfect, they and other systems have many of the same problems as in the United States. He cites anecdotal examples that he says rival and parallel the examples presented by Moore: a Swedish parent whose government-run health-care system refused to put cochlear implants in both ears of her child, a German man who couldn't get his national health-care system to approve surgery for a brain tumor — and if he hadn't paid for it himself instead of continuing to wait, his doctor says the man would have died. London's Hammersmith Hospital, featured in the movie, was pressured by health officials to limit the number of patients treated in order to cut costs, a problem that isn't anomalous in Britain, where the government has promised to cut down waiting periods — down to 18 weeks. "Such examples suggest that Moore's depiction of European-style medicine as an easy panacea for America's problems is rather more complicated than presented. Massive queues and cash shortages have plagued all of the systems profiled—and celebrated—in Sicko."
