The beginning of the end?

Sharon, Abbas announce mutual end to violence

"We shall all declare today that violence will not murder hope. This is the day when the process began moving forward - to bring peace for all the people of the Middle East," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared, in an emotional speech closing Tuesday's summit at Sharm e-Sheikh.



I underdstand how Ariel Sharon can end violent acts perpetrated by the Israeli army by giving a single order. But how is Abbas going to rein in the terrorist networks on his end? Here's to hoping.

If at least a temporary, but solid, peace is achieved, do you think the Nobel Prize committee will give Sharon the same credit they gave Arafat?
