I always find it amusing when people elect leaders based on reasons other than experience and qualifications. No, I'm not talking about the president for a change, this time I'm talking about the Palestinians.

Lets say you're the Palestinian Prime minister and you're off to a day at the parliament building. You get out of the car and you're faced with an mob of protesters. These protesters are upset because even though they elected you to improve their lot, they haven't been paid since you've been elected. When blocked from entering the building by these protesters do you:

a. Turn around and go home and call in by phone?
b. Appeal for patience and try and explain you're doing all you can?
c. Break out the guns and shoot the people who elected you?

If you guessed 'c' then you'd be right:

Palestinian PM's Bodyguards Open Fire

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Bodyguards for the Palestinian prime minister opened fire outside the Gaza City parliament building Monday, trying to clear the way for him through a group of unemployed workers, police said.

You know, there's an old saying that "you get what you pay for". They wanted leaders that took action, I'd say they're paying for that now.
