How do you do that when a good part of the main leadership is extremist, for instance in the case of Arafat/his cronies and the Palestinians. Money for infrastructure (to improve the PA peoples lives) appears for the most part to get misappropriated or squandered by the people Arafat has chosen (cronies) to administer those funds. These two sentences are completely unrelated. Extremism has nothing to do with corruption. In fact, the corrupt leadership of the PA is opposed to the extremists, because it wants to sell out the Palestinian cause for personal gain. That aside, your post reminded me of the bizarre situation right now. We have Israel and its supporters attempting to trample Palestinian democracy by removing the popular leader, Arafat. The reason given by the supporters of Israel? Arafat's corruption. The curiousity is that the replacement that Israel has hand-picked for Arafat's replacement (Mahmoud Abbas or "Abu Mazen") turns out to be the most corrupt member of Arafat's entourage. electronicintifada.net Tom
