I wish I could share your optimism, but I cannot. These guys are not going to disappear and they will get support from numerous sources. Never count a fire out until you stick your hand elbow-deep into the ashes.

IT looks like PEACE IS HAPPENING VERY ..Jun 23rd, 2007 - 11:46:09
Quickly now.
The only ones that will be left behind will be the Islamic FundaMENTALIST in GAZA.
DO YOU SEE A PATTERN????
The FundaMENTAL religious leaders/ Iman's can not afford to allow peace. For if they do they will lose their power over the people.
Economic advancement and personal improvement does not incite anger the way poverty and jealousy and envy.
SO what's a Islamic Cleric to do????
Incite further violence, and blame everyone, except themselves for their problems.
Now that Hamas is isolated in Gaza it will be interesting to see what happens next. There would have been peace 5 years ago had Hamas not derailed the whole process.
