Yasser Arafat is officially dead. well. It was expected, just when the news would be broken offically to the public.

Nonetheless, it makes the already volatile situation over at the Gaza Strip and West Bank a more difficult and pressing situation already. No doubt US would be interested in the new developments, and the person to succeed him as the Palestinian leader.

Just felt that he's a great leader who manages to push forth his idealogies and take actions with moderate stands to achieve his goals, however difficult the situation is. However, the dire fact is that the Palestinians have no land to call their own, no economy to talk about, and no official recognition by the world body.

May he rest in peace.
