Palestinians forge unity government

Seen here the two major Palestinian political parties have come to some kind of agreement. Hamas, led by Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Fatah, led by President Mahmoud Abbas have come to agree on a coalition government. This means one of two things: 1) Hamas will moderate (which the article implies) or 2) Fatah will return to its radical roots with its cousins in the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. I for one am hoping Hamas will moderate its views to agree with that of the Quartet. Perhaps at that point the peace process can begin to move forward. And as I am sitting at a private computer, I will leave it at that.
