http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/11/arafat.main/index.html There's more info. What do you think the consequences of his death will be?
I think very little will change. I just send my sympathies to the Palestinian people, and especially to his family. It is sad to hear that Mr. Arafat has passed on, and I hope there are no negative consequences. Peace in the middle east, inshallah.
A likely successor to Yassar Arafat was chosen earlier today. He will now and forever be know as Ringo Arafat I.
