I look at the entire situation and think ANYTHINg... just ANYTHIHG could be a help to this. Now is the time to accomplish a lasting peace if there ever was one. Israel pulling out of Gaza and a new Palestinian president at the same time? This could be the dawn of a real peace. Unfortunately it hinges on the backs of two individuals (the Israeli and Palestinian leaders.. both of which would be acting sort of out of the line their fellows have set). Which brings me to the point which makes me sad: the leadership of both sides is truly unsupported by the militants on either side. The officials of Israel really don't want to pull out of Gaza, yet hte action is going forth anyway.. because IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.. and its about time Israel (atleast the leader) saw this. I also HIGHLY doubt the violence will end on the Palestinian side. Mahmoud Abbas may have some sway with the common people due to him being elected, but that does not mean he will have ANY control over the terrorist movements among the palestinian people. It is about time BOTH sides realized this and moved toward a common goal of both anti-terrorism and a realistic Palestinian state (one that doesnt inclunde the phrase "death to all zionists" or the taking back of all of Israel.).
