#1 Palestinian prime minister Mahmud Abbas ruled out Thursday resorting to force against hardline groups to stop them launching attacks on Israel as Hamas said it had resumed talks with his government. "We do not deal with the opposition in a militaristic manner but through dialogue," Abbas told a key meeting of the Palestinian Legislative Council.

Just another confirmation of the Palestinian penchant for not honoring their part of an agreement.

"Abu Mazen (Abbas) took the decision to stop talking to us," he told AFP. "We support dialogue."

This is the ploy of ol' Ho Chi Minh himself during the Vietnam War - "talk talk, fight fight". All this talking does nothing to advance the prospect of peace in that area.
