I won't mourn his death for precisely your explanation. He could have used his power constructively, but chose not to. What I will mourn is the rise of a new Palestinean leadership as incompetent as he was; I hope they choose their leader well.
This is the Palestineans best chance in 40 years to do something positive for themselves.
