“ If Arafat can be booted out, we may see an actual Palestinian politics emerge. Elections should follow politics. “ I’d enjoy nothing better than to see this happen if it eventually leads to peace in the ME,and as I implied, I don’t think forcing this is having the expected results.I posted some time ago an article from Baghdad by a ( Canadian I believe ) reporter who spent some time there recently.The gist of that report being , the Iraq people would like to see Saddam gone, but take exception to the idea of the US making him gone. People are strange like that, eh?They may hate their leader, but woe is he who tries to attack them from outside. Regarding the opposition , yes I have been following that, and it does look promising. Arafat’s singularity is being put to the test, that’s fer sure, and I think Sharon should step back and let this take care of itself internally, not calling for his overthrow and such.This just melds the PALs back against Israel, and you would think Sharon would have figured this out by now.I don’t know if it would regroup as much as it might begin to morph into a more democratic entity.Time will tell.
