Arafat's death does indeed deserve credit for whatever changes are occuring in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (along with Bush and Sharon's refusal to surrender to terror, of course).

But who knew that Yasser Arafat, even sick and half-demented, could hold the entire Middle East in thrall, and prevent democratic reforms in Lebanon, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia?
