How true it is, Mr Pipes

How true it is, Mr Pipes ! Mostly all the Arabs are convinced that the Palestinians have rights. The fact is that Arafat failed to establish a Palestinian State, but he succeeded exporting his cause to all the Arab World an beyond.

All the Arab leaders financed and supported his campaign to use the excuse of the Palestinian cause against any demand of political reform.

What is funny is that even the opponents to official leaders have exactly the same attitude trying to get a popular legitimacy instead of explaining things honestly to their people.
