I found some words from "Morgil Blackhope" <morestelx@hotmail.com>in my phone cable...

Flame of the West
He is as much to blame for their plight as anyone on earth, because he had the chance to make things better and he refused to do it to maintain his own position. All it would take is one suicide bomber, and they'd be rid of him. (Not that I'm advocating it, you understand; I'm just pointing out that there are definite limits to their desperation.)

Oh no there aren't. What if they'd 'get rid' of Arafat and the next guy would be even worse? That's desperation for you.

Yes. No doubt Arafat is a corrupt *sshole, but if he's blown away, I suggest there would be three or four who claimed to be his successor - one of his own organisation, one of Hamas and some of all these different militant organisations. This could lead to two things: either a bloody civil war or, if one of them succeeds, a more radical government. In both cases, there would be even more bloodshed and misery for the people in Palestine. And more suicide bombings for the people in Israel.

It's really an awful situation. I've got no easy solution to offer. Except that, perhaps, one day the people on _both_ sides are sick and tired of the war and kick away the power-hungry fanatics on _both_ sides. But that might remain a silly dream...
