Mistakes Were Made

Yasser Arafat acknowledged Wednesday that the Palestinian Authority had made mistakes, but "the rare admission appeared to be aimed more at deflecting criticism about his corrupt government than making real changes." Arafat Admits Mistakes in Speech to Parliament [washingtonpost.com].

But at least now some Palestinians are as upset for Arafat's bureaucratic incompetence and intransigence as the Israelis have long been for his overt support of Hammas and other terrorist organizations.
