Arafat in critical condition
Arafat is now in the hospital in critical condition. By the sounds of it he may not live much longer. He is now unable to walk.

BoP,
Do I detect a loss of the "all is sweetness and light" component of your persona? Or are you that desperate for the ol' bugger to lose his pants permanently? ![]()

Oh my God... I read "Aratfalthion" and thought "Arat-Falthion" and nearly had a heart attack. Sheeeeze I feel stupid now. I actually just about jumped out of my chair...
Anyways... I think that his death, as BoP said, will probably fix a few problems, but as with any new leader, a whole host of new problems will appear. |

I think his death will create more problems than it will solve. Things will get shaken up, and, when things get shaken up in the Middle East, it ain't pretty. There will probably be a power struggle, and the new leader probably won't be any better than Arafat. Plus the new leader will be anxious to do somthing and solidify his office. New blood isn't always the best thing.

I'm not sure if it does any good. And can't really see how Arafat did any harm when he was closed in his building (you called it 'compound'? I think its name is the mukata). As Shelob's Hubby said... I think it'd only make mess there, especially when Arafat gave the leadership of the Autonomy to 3 men. I think the new leader will be much weaker than Arafat... we'll see if that's good or bad. |

Although - I would consider a person who condones suicide bombings to be FAR MORE extremist. Quote:

Actually, JD, I'd prefer if you didn't read more into what I stated thank you. I acknowledge that Sharon is trying to work towards evacuating the settlements, which is why I stated my statement the way I did (that Sharon was "saddled", in other words, having difficulty due to the extremists putting their respective foots down).
