there and back again

After Arafat, in his infinite wisdom, decided to fight charges of corruption & cronyism by appointing his nephew as Gazan police chief, he now flip-flopped back. To the original corrupt & criminal law enforcement official. I guess he figures better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. I just find it disturbing that there was no apparent third alternative. You know, an official that might not be such a blatant fraud.

So I guess the unrest in the PA areas is just the violent culture there backfiring on Arafat. Too bad it never leads to anything the least bit constructive.
