The United States will not cooperate with a Palestinian government that includes people who advocate violence, President Bush said. “If people get elected, they’re going to use violence as a tool, there won’t be our help,” President Bush said Monday in an interview broadcast on Al-Arabiya, an Arabic-language satellite channel. “We just won’t be involved. If people get elected who say, ‘We want to advance peace and prosperity of the Palestinian people,’ we’ll be involved.”
