Bill Clinton, âMy Life,â on Arafatâs rejection of Clinton proposal for Palestinian statehood: âThe deal was so good I couldnât believe anyone would be foolish enough to let it go.â âPerhaps he simply couldnât make the final jump from revolutionary to statesman.â âRight before I left office, Arafat, in one of our last conversations, thanked me for all my efforts and told me what a great man I was. âMr. Chairman,â I replied, âI am not a great man. I am a failure, and you have made me one.ââ âArafatâs rejection of my proposal after Barak accepted it was an error of historic proportions.â
