Keep On Rollin'

There's more outstanding news out of "Palestine".

Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei has won the backing of the main Fatah faction for a new cabinet.

Fatah MPs had called on Mr Qurei not to give jobs to veterans of Yasser Arafat's time - widely seen as corrupt.

This is a good step. Now you've got a new president (who's not Arafat), a prime minister (who's not Arafat), popular accountability for leaders, tangible measures toward learning to live in peace with one another. What's the next logical move? Sack all of Arafat's crooked old goons to give the new government some added legitimacy and credibility.

Kudos to Prime Minister Qurei.
