I just heard word in a press conference with Bush that Arafat has passed away. This is big news.While it's not PC to wish someone would pass on, many agree that Arafat has been a huge obstacle to progress in the Israel/Palestine Intifadah. This opens the door for a whole new round of peace talks and I sincerely hope they can accomplish something. So often, their thirst for revenge ruins the peace, but this gives an opportunity to establish a new leader (perhaps Ahmed Qureia) who is willing to crack down on Hamas and other terrorist groups.Update:
Apparently, Arafat has not passed on. I still hope something can come from this experience.Update 2:
Arafat has now died.
