Arafat

The news is that Arafat is dying which can only be a very worrying situation, who will replace him? I can not see it being a moderate much more likely a hard-liner. Anything that effects the Middle East is going to be a worry.
I also wonder if his death will cause the no.3 to happen by that I mean when a celebrity ie an actor dies it seems that then two more die as usually the deaths seem to occur in threes. Most odd!
Something will trigger in the realms of fate. Life is going to get more dangerous for us all.
