Arafat was "elected" in '96....hmmm a 6+ year term? and I think that "elections" were postponed due to the "crisis"; but dont worry, the PLO will hold free and fair elections again as soon as they decide who the Palestinians are going to elect

LOL. They were postponed because in all liklihood a Hamas candidate would have beat him.

Can't wait to see the "party designations" if they really try to hold elections by year end. WIll it will be Hemes vs Feteh?
