Not yet. I'm thinking this was more of a stunt to shift focus back on Arafat, and show that he is indeed in control with the support of "his people".
From interview with Katie Couric on "Today" show:
http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/944490....a01&cp1=1#BODY
Couric: Does [Palestinian President Yasir] Arafat have to approve the actions that you take?
Abbas:Â* Â*Â*All the actions, all the actions. He is the leader of the Palestinian people.
Timing it on 9/11 right after a replacement for Abbas was named, isn't an accident. i doubt they're planning on removing him just yet.
"D.) Group activities such as paper flower making and square dance"
I don't mind this idea. I'm great at DanceDance Revolution, and I'll gladly dance for peace (right on Arafat's grave!)
