I will respond from my hope and speculation and not knowledge.

It seems to me that there are many in PA who would like to end the conflict and solve the problems.

Few of those appearing on the networks spoke lengthily about a democratic process, rule of law transparency and human rights.

Unfortunate I do not understand Arabic and do not know what they told when appearing on the Arab networks.

Personally I am optimistic and I was also before and hoped for a resolution. Unfortunate in the past I was disappointed by the events on the gound.

Most important is to se WHAT THEY DO and not WHAT THEY TALK.

As of today they still engaged in terrorist acts by firing several mortars on schools and houses and kassam rockets into Israel.

One important thing to watch is if they spread the word that Arafat was poisoned - and by this justifying revenge - if this element will be strongly denied by the PA there is a positive start.

The other positive sign would be if the PA will distribute to the population equally a substantial part of the stash of money Arafat embezeled, to build new micro businesses and schools.

The problems are enormous starting from water population growth education and cessation of teaching hatred generating decent work places and employment.

So will se it day by day as it evolves - Personally I cross my fingers for success
