Arafat thinks he is a second Saladin, he dreams of driving the Crusaders (i.e. Israel) into the sea. Because of this dream, he can only accept temporary truces, that is, whatever lies he tells the West, he tells his own guys in Arabic that it's just a temporary truce.

Clinton's deal was a nightmare for him because it delivered over 95% of what he was claiming to want, but on condition it was a final deal. Arafat had never prepared either the Palestinians or the hard-liners for peace (hell, he never told his own negotiators what his bottom line was). Just the opposite, the PA has been educating the Palestinians for hating the Jews and reclaiming ALL of occupied Palestine.

So Arafat walked away and started a war. His chosen epitaph is: I never betrayed the dream. His legacy to his people: a great, supparating sense of grievance.
