(Footnote: There's enormous turmoil going on on the Palestinian political side at the moment - it looks like forces are finally starting to emerge against Arafat, that the myth that "he's the only one who can save us" is starting to erode in the face of over a decade of thuggery and kleptocracy. Looks like a huge opportunity for any number of even less salubrious people to step up to the plate - the main difference being that most of these guys won't even pretend to negotiate. They're just out for blood.)
