Burn, baby, burn
At 11:49 am EST, a member of the White House press corp informed the President that Yasser Arafat is dead. No confirmation yet. First step to Pali/Israeli peace?
Update: Only a couple sources maintain that Arafat is dead; most say that he's brain-dead. If his condition is improving, why didn't they just say so?

There would be no peace as long as Arafat and Israel both existed; the former would not tolerate the latter. There might well be some messiness on the Palestinian side in his wake, but I'm less concerned about that; there is potential that a replacement will consolidate Palestinian security, and quit playing one against the other to prevent peace. It's only 'potential', but that's more than we had with Arafat.
