Apparently this is what Baby Bush is referring to when he talks about bringing democracy to those backward A-rabs. From the New York Times:
In assertive mood, Mr. Abbas also issued decrees outlawing the armed militias of Hamas and suspending clauses in Palestinian Basic Law that call for parliamentary approval of the new government. Hamas has a firm majority in the 132-seat Palestinian Parliament, although 40 of its legislators are currently imprisoned in Israeli jails.
Hamas has dismissed the emergency government as illegitimate, insisting that the Hamas-dominated unity government, which Mr. Abbas dissolved, is still in charge. A Hamas spokesman in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, said the new government is a "conspiracy against the Palestinian people" that "serves Israel and the United States."
