I can't see that happening...

"Palestine" going to battle against Hamas, Hezbollah, and the rest of them?

I would only believe that possible had I seen Arafat quietly being buried somewhere, with little mourning and fanfare. No, he was celebrated, he was their hero. They stand for everything he stood for...the complete eradication of Israel.

Since he's dead and can't speak for himself, the winners are going to be the ones to define his place in history. If Abbas and the PA win, he will be remembered as the guy that shook hands with Rabin and took the first step towards peace.

Hamas and the PA have been harsh rivals for years. The Hamas guys know that peace makes them largely irrelevant, while the PA guys know it makes them a government.

There will be provocations, to be sure. But Shimon Peres said it best: "fight terrorism as if there were no prace, seek peace as if there were no terrorism".

you are quoting uncle shimon, former vice president of the socialist internationale? http://nobelprize.org/peace/laureates/1994/peres-bio.html
and relying upon the new chairman of the PA who holds a PhD in Holocaust denial from Moscow U? are you serious? abu mazen ran his campaign as a friend and champion of the jew killing gangs. this is a farce. i am sadly disappointed at the direction the US is going with this policy and saddened that W. (and Condi too for that matter) are risking their well deserved place in history on this arab murderer.
