We Have Committed a Serious Mistake


(IMRA) - Nabil Amr, former Palestinian minister for parliamentary affairs, catalogued the Palestinian Authority's mistakes in a letter to Chairman Arafat published in Al Hayat (London): Let us be frank with each other: There is something other than conspiracy that has made the whole world either stand against us or incapable of helping us. What works is frankness and admission that a grave failure has occurred. Doesn't the "giant fighter" (the Palestinian people) deserve some time to rest and take a breather? Is it not wise to besiege Sharon with calm, perhaps we will win the third party that we have lost because of our miscalculated steps? What prevents us from acting immediately to stop the chaos spreading in the administrative department where the army of employees has reached 130,000 persons, three quarters of whom do not know what their work is? We have committed a serious mistake against our people, authority, and the dream of the establishment of our state.
