...Arafat is old, ailing and preoccupied with how he'll be remembered when he's gone. The only way for him to be Arafat the dealmaker, founder of Palestine, would be to sell short the Palestinian dream.

OPEC, for one, has steered clear of any Saddam-style threats, and seem to realize that it still has more to lose by declaring economic war on the U.S. than it has to gain - particularly with George W. Bush busy courting Arab nations to support his war on terrorism...
