So will a true statesman and leader now be permitted to lead the Palestinian people to the statehood they deserve?

Man, one thing i can tell you...
If it was a complete mess with a leader, can you imagine how it will be without him?

I wonder, what do you all think is coming more into shape? Titor's "predictions" or Biblical prophesy? The Bible talks about the euro dollar and peace in the middle east being signs of the imminet end. Guess what Bush and Blair said today in a press confrence about palestine and Isreal?

Good point, Shangraleezy!
Considering how long one has been around, compared to the other, I'll stick with the battle-tested one, thank you!
Contrary to what Titor said, and what other people around these boards (and the world) want to think that we are on the verge of terrible wars and loss of life.... I think we ARE in the time predicted by the Bible, but I also think there are not only two different ways to interpret it, but two different ways we, as beings, can make the prophecies come to life.
One is in a negative way, which is the common interpretation of Revelation and "the end of the world".
Another is in a positive way, where we see "the end times" more along the lines of "the end of ordinary perceptions of Time".
The Masters promised us a "time of salvation". Christ, Mohammed, Moses. But what we didn't really understand is that it is really a "salvation from being trapped by Time". Conquering death, to me, means nothing more than learning to exist continuously and consciously, even after our physical body has been used up.
I think the passing of Arafat is the passing of the old guard. I am hopeful that we will now see a new generation of Palestinian leaders come forth, and understand the importance of making peace with Israel. Important not only for their own wishes of an independent state of Palestine, but for securing one of the conditions required for us to evolve to our next step....security, peace, tolerance, and love.
I am hopeful. Very hopeful. In fact, one might say I am actively creating a beautiful world we will be living in. It is the world I want to live in. Don't you?
