I on't think the moderate Arabs give a rat's ass about Arafat. Their goal in on Plaestinisans on their turf. Palis are very low class and objects of Arab discrimination.
Prince Abdullah publically entered the fray and in so doing sent a message to Arafat... your time is up my friend. This message has been severely garbled but it was neverthe less delivered.
The suicide bombings followed to upset the moderate Arab initiative.
Wonder what they call his present circumstances?
