The Saudi's are selling the Pals "Wahhabism." There is a lot of truth in the Rand Foundation editorial I posted. Here is a "Slate" summary. The NYT also notes that Arafat, in what's becoming an oft-repeated battle, shot down attempts yesterday by the new Palestinian prime minister, Ahmed Qurei, to consolidate Palestinian security forces and have Arafat give up control of them. Qurei's nominated interior minister apparently got in a shouting match with Arafat about it and then stormed out after he lost. The Jerusalem Post says Arafat himself stormed out, after the interior minister called him "the most incompetent revolutionary leader in history." "Everyone's blaming Arafat on the Palestinian side, and our diplomacy is now over," one diplomat told the Times. "Put on your helmets." slate.msn.com
