Well I hope the bad sides of Arafat will be contained by Abbas' new cabinet. I don't where the idea that Arafat is the block to everything in the Middle East comes from though, and don't believe in it.
I read a longish article on this topic. The "road map" used to contain the following idea: That both sides should start making positive changes *simultaneously*. I do believe that a majority of the population wants peace, but that both sides are scared of making the first step. This is one of the basic problems: Being afraid of making a step and then getting no step from the other side. I haven't read about the now proposed "map" though. From what I understood of that article, it seemed that the steps the Israelis were supposed to make have been made smaller.
