#1 And 73.72% of the Arab world is disappointed again. When will the humiliation stop?

#2 I'm in Jerusalem today visiting my daughter (who made aliyah recently). The rumor on the street (actually in the Central Bus Station) is that Marwan was bought off (lots of money, jobs, etc. for his kinfolk).

SOP in the Arab world (well actually in most the world).

#3 ..a big boost for Abbas, a pragmatist who opposes violence..

Unfortunately, his opposition to violence appears to run both ways, what with his past unwillingness to deal with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and to a lesser degree, Hezbollah. Now that Arafart's gone, there's no excuses for not doing what needs to be done, assuming that the Paleos and their leadership truly want peace.
