"Wolfensohn invested thousands of dollars of his own money to persuade other U.S. philanthropists to help the Palestinians buy functioning greenhouses from the Israelis who were abandoning them in Gaza. But he has been frustrated by the Bush administration's inability to ensure that Israel kept its promises of improved access in and out of Gaza for people and goods, especially agricultural exports, said an official close to him."

The Middle East envoy from the U.S., Russia, European Union, and United Nations - the "Quartet" as they call themselves - further exposes Israel's lack of following its own statements regarding the Gaza Strip. The hypocrisy of the U.S. shoving "democracy" down Iraq's throat while blatantly disregarding the results of these Palestinian elections speaks volumes about the real role of the Bush administration's claims to using democracy to create peace and security.
