Not even the Palestinians really care that their favorite blob of corruption (now with new, cuter hat) is finally going to die. Like parents who can't wait to turn their college kids' room into a new guest room, they've already given away his post to Abu Mazen and are promising a nicer, less anti-Semitic UN mission. Even Arab kings and dictators have always disliked Arafat (partly for repeatedly trying to overthrow some of them, but mostly because he's just kind of swarmy). In the last 4 years, even the Palestinian street has become less than enamoured with him. It's about time for him to make his exit.
