.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?

That is the same question I have asked myself. I was hoping that someone here could answer. If there is a moderate, progressive Palestinian leader out there that could take over the role of leader, Arafat has been quit good at keeping him out of sight.

If there isn't, then maybe that means something.

Any ideas?
