Yasser Arafat is in stable condition after dying at a Paris hospital, and Mahmoud Abbas is his successor as head of the Palestinian Authority and the Fatah political/terrorist movement. Fatah says it's "absurd" that it would be working with Israel against the terrorists of Hamas--but that of course was the entire point of the Oslo accords. It's a sad little postscript to President Clinton's peace efforts.
It's what Israel gave the Palestinian Authority training and 40,000 AK-47s to do. Can you believe it? Of course they never had any intention of enforcing law and order and a peaceful future.
