There is such a commitment - last enunciated to my recollection by the US ambassador to Bolivia.

And, of course, my 'no doubt' implied my understanding of the depth of the commitment, which agrees, I think, with yours, cheers, Ian At 23:35 03/12/06 -0400, you wrote: >There is no such commitment--- or don't you remember Hamas' democratic >victory? > m > >At 23:14 03/12/2006, you wrote: >>A good result.
