I don't think that Abbas CAN actually "do" anything really. He does not have effective "control" over Hamas or any of the militant groups. This was one of the problems that Arafat had.
Odd though, seeing how Hamas issued a willingness to declare a truce just the other day.
Anyways, that's is the real power of terrorism, how a few dirty,rotten apples spoil the whole shebang. All it takes is one incident and the whole house of cards falls down.
