If these hopes are not met and if Abbas is shown to be either complicit in terrorism or completely inept in stopping it, his already flimsy government will be denied the financial backing from Israel and the West that is barely keeping him afloat.

This is naive. The EU will continue to fund the PA whether or not it engages in terrorism. In fact, the EU is more likely to continue to fund the PA if the terrorism continues. If it stops, Palestine falls off the radar and will eventually lose its pizazz in Europe. That will probably cause funding to fall.

My alltime favorite Abbas song is "Dancing Que...."

Wait a sec...

Never mind. That was Arafat. Sorry!
