The only possible leadership, no. The one likely for the near future, probably yes. When they insist on having a statesman they’ll get one. I’m not holding my breath.

I would agree that any people who expects to be led by autocratic leadership is very much at the mercy of the quality of that leadership. By many accounts, the Palestinians almost universally curse Arafat out in private, but no opposition will stand up and be counted (it's very unhealthy, besides). As one would-be opposition leader, Hassem Khader, lamented, "We are like the Bedouins. We follow our sheikhs."
