Adios, Yasser?

Adios, Yasser?

Do I hear a groundswell in the Middle East to jettison Yasser Arafat?

From today’s Times:

In an interview, King Abdullah also said the Palestinian leader, Yasir Arafat, should have “a long look in the mirror” to decide whether he should yield authority. Such a demand is made frequently by the Bush administration and Israel but rarely voiced so openly in the Arab world.

And a few days ago, Lebanon’s Dar Al Hayat called for him to quit. Go with it.
