Hello

Is there a alternative to Arafat ?

Sharon and Arafat share the same problem, they are warheads ( heros ? ).
Both need a enemy to get power by there people.

If you remove the enemy you will see that they have no
answers for the real live problems from there people.

Both share also the "all or nothing" attitude and are not willingly to lose their face.

Arafat might not be clean electet ( is Bush clean electet ? Every vote counts ? ) and he is double tounged ( like most politicians ) but he is able to have most palestinains behind him and had enough respect to keep some control over the crowd.

If you pull Arafat out off the game ( he is far out allready ) what will fill up the vacuum ? And if the palestinians are pushed more when will they reach the final boil point ?

As far I see it Clinton and his political backbone made some clever moves and made the best out from the situation. The Problem was that after Rabin was shoot the political atmosphere in Isreal changed to a more conservative way and Israel startet to be double tounged or picking splinters in other eyes.
