Mubarak warns of chaos if anything happens to Yasser
  • Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned of chaos in the Middle East if anything happened to Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. Mubarak stressed he was not defending Arafat himself but rather peace and stability in the region.
    What the hell do they have now? Interesting he should mention that he's not defending Arafat himself. He'd probably be just as happy to see Abdulla bin Schmoe step up and take over, if he could be found. But as long as they keep Yasser, no successor is going to arise. As soon as he starts, he'll have an "unfortunate accident." Post-Yasser Palestinian leadership will come from somewhere else - like Hamas.
