Arafat has always been only as effective as his wealthy, and ruthless supporters have allowed him to be.

As the squeeze on those supporters gets tighter, Arafat and any possible replacements become less effective at stopping a real and effective peace between the Palestinians and Isrealies.

    - YES! Very much. Arafat has been suppressing ALL incipient movements for accomodation with Israel. With him gone, peace MAY now have a chance. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 11/1/2004 7:10:56 PM
