TIME.com: Arafat's Illness

This is probably good news. If Arafat is gone, whether dead or in a hospital outside his Ramallah compound, he's gone. That's good news for the peace process even though it begins a time of consolidation and internal scrapping among the various factions.

Terribly important is that Palestinians renounce the terrorist wings of their movement during this impending power shakeup. It had to happen sometime.
