Could go 2 ways -- Hamas uses its power to promote terrorism in the region, or the more likely alternative, now that they're in power, in order to get the $ to run the country, they'll have to gravitate towards the middle and abandon terrorism.

I'm withholding judgment.

Hamas had said they won't change thier charter which calls for the destruction of Israel. This means they will continue as a terrorist organization. Now we will see how many governments are committed enough to cut off funds to them. Now we'll see who really stands against terror.
