>>Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia held his country together and defied outside influences. When he was no longer in power a struggle for power began and is not yet over. When Yasser Arafat is no longer in a position of power, Palestine could meet a similar fate. Fighting amongst factions within Palestine could last for years. This would only add to the complexity of peace in the area.

I'm not sure if he couldn't or wouldn't. Time will tell if he was bluffing or if he really didn't have the power to control Hamas.
