RAMALLAH, West Bank - Freed from Yasser Arafat's one-man rule, Palestinians say they are eager and able to build the first real democracy in the Arab world, despite the dangers lurking on the road to Jan. 9 elections.
"Now it's real competition, the possibility of winning is there," said pro-democracy activist Mustafa Barghouti, a physician considering a presidential bid.
Pete's Points
"Pro democracy activist"? You have to be kidding!
Barghouti is currently serving a jail sentence in Israel for terrorism.
