(Gulf News-Dubai/UPI-Washington Times) Youssef M. Ibrahim - It may be time for Arafat to fall on his sword or leave. Palestinians are saying their president for life - Arafat - is the problem along with his cronies who rule them, rob them, and impoverish them. Arabs have a responsibility here too. They can say "Israel" until they are all blue in the face, but it does not change the fact that a large part of the fault lies with the Palestinians and the Arabs. Arafat should be counseled it is time to leave with whatever dignity is left to him.
