I have a friend who has worked in this field for 40 years who only half jokingly said Sharon himself probably ordered the assassination, to stop the peace process As Nadine suggests, there are plenty of groups out there ready to distrupt things so no need for Sharon to play such tricks. Hopefully we can leave that to Tom Clancy. The situation and conjunction with the US war on terrorists has put Arafat into the final bind he can probably not escape from - "route out all terrorists and those who harbor them". Sharon / Israel leadership must be delighted, its now much harder to deny them moral authority to hunt terror down. What do PFLP or other such groups gain with Arafat out of the picture? Are they simply looking for more effective leadership? Or completely different goals? Is there a moderate, progressive Palestinian leader out there, ready to take the lead, who's lead will be followed, if Arafat is gone? If there isn't, then maybe that means something.
