#3 Indeed, Abbas is nothing, nothing new. Surely no one thinks anything of substance has changed. The cast of characters, minus Arafart, adds up to the same twisted pile of hate, corruption, and human offal that it did before his departure. There is no Road Map. There is no peace process. There is only the visceral hatred of the Paleos and the sham that those who hide it better pretend to fall for when some minor detail changes.

#4 the terminal, a major lifeline for supplies to 1.3 million Palestinians in Gaza would remain closed until further notice as a result of the attack. cause, meet effect.

I'm not a rose colored glasses kind of person - but I have to say that my surprise meter has twitched a bit with Abbas. It may just be because Arafat was soooooo bad and such a corrupt leader that anyone would look better. It will be interesting to see how he handles this first challenge.

#7 Difference doesnt mean success. Arafat encouraged terror. Abbas clearly does not - but IF his discouragement is toothless, if he is a pacifist who opposes terror but lacks the cojones to DO anything, he will be little better. However it is distincly too soon to know. I THINK Sharon thinks there IS a difference. Though of course thats impossible to prove, since even if he didnt, hed have no choice at this point but to make nicey-nice with Abbas. It is certainly very true that the ball is now in Abbas' court - AAMB is affiliated with Fatah, and Fatah now has Abbas' name on it, as in "Abbas' Fatah". Its one thing to say he cant control Hamas, to admit that he cant even control Fatah is very damaging.

#8 Hmmm...I'm not sure that he can control Hamas anymore than Israel or we can. But that doesn't mean that he can't act as a leader who will move the Pal's forward. I'm probably being overly optimistic - but I'm not hurting anyone.

#10 The new Palestinian leader has urged a cease-fire in more than four years of bloodshed to allow resumption of talks with Israel on peace and Palestinian statehood, a call rejected by militants he has said he planned to co-opt rather than confront.

The problem with "co-opting" terrorists (How in the hell does one do that anyway?) is that there is no immediate incentive to stop their deadly activities. Action is required now, not later.
