Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Abbas is doing nothing more than Arafat did. Postpone elections and rule in a corrupt dictatorial fashion. The only twist is that Abbas claims he doesn’t want to run for office again. Well, he’s not. He’s going to be el presidente for life at this rate.

And that suits him just fine. Winning an election where half your population doesn’t just not like you but would actually rather to see you dead is a tough proposition. ///
