#1 I've got $5 says Israel either reoccupies Gaza or hits it with a tac nuke within 5 years. Any takers?

#2 Why use a nuke when Daisycutters and MOABs exist?

#3 And I bet $5 that Egypt would re-occupy Gaza Strip after manufacturing a large scale industrial accident and Jordan would annex parts of the West Bank, in 5 years, with Israel's blessing.

#5 â€œThe spread of arms and forms of chaos acceptable before the pullout cannot be accepted after it. All Palestinians must now show self-restraint to succeed in Gaza,” Abu Khoussa said.

These guys sure do talk up a good game, but the reality has never followed suit.

#7 Much will hinge on whether Palestinian leaders can impose order where armed factions now reign, and whether a doubtful Israel does its bit by opening Gaza’s borders to create jobs and investment as an alternative to violence.

IMNSHO, unlikely on either. Arafta's successors are still wedded to his long-term goal; any acceptance of the present situation is an impediment to that.
