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.
