<< So, what help was (or could be) expected of Hussein by Arafat ???? >> You mean besides Yasser and Saddamn both dressing as women and riding off together, on camels, into the sunset? Arafat's been crying to the western press, day after day, that he only wants peace. Perhaps he wants to ask Saddamn Hussein how he has been able to get along with the Kurds and the Shiite Muslims in Iraq, all these years? Somehow, I don't think a partnership between Arafat and Saddamn gives off a peaceful image to the world.

So, what help was (or could be) expected of Hussein by Arafat ???? So far, Saddam Hussein has been suporting the intifada monetarily; he pays money to the families of suicide bombers. I don't know how much he has been giving Arafat or Hamas directly or how active his agents have been in PA territory. Debka has dropped a few hints about them but I've never seen any reports corroborated in the mainstream press. It would be strange bedfellows indeed if Arafat succeeded in getting help from Iraq and Iran simultaneously.
