Not that Arafat has any particular to recommend him, but I wonder what, exactly, the cheering contingent expects him to be replaced by.

The prospects aren't cheerful but they could hardly be worse than the present. To those who say Arafat will be replaced by violent chaos, I answer, and how is this different from the current situation? Only in that 'violent chaos' never got a Nobel Peace Prize (what a sick joke that is in retrospect). And maybe, just maybe, Jibril Rajoub will win the succession shootout and turn out to be someone you can do business with.
