The Palestinian leaders need pressure while a way is shown to them how they can get their own country without violence if they feel obligated to peace.

Oh, you mean like the Oslo Plan?

Oops, that didn't work - Arafat wasn't interested.

Do you think that Mazen will really "crack down" on Islamic Jihad, Hamas, al Aqsa Martyrs(part of Fatah, the party of which abu Mazen is a founding member)? Or will he get them to participate in a temporary "cease fire" while it's members are moonlighting as "PA Police" and get rearmed and trained by the CIA, like last time?
