Dieval, for once you and I agree. I'm glad that this terrorist has finally kicked the bucket, and that he can no longer pursue the furtherance of violence. Perhaps now the PLO might finally accept peace.

That sounds like wishful thinking. All I can say is that maybe this will make things a little better.

I hope it will...I believe he was one of the main obstacles(not the only, but a big one) to a peaceful solution...

It is always good when a filthy Muslim Terrorist like the dirty Egyptian Muhammad Abd al-Rahman ar-Rauf al-Qudwah al-Husayni (aka Arafat)is no longer able to inflict death and destruction directly. But don't get your hopes up. The Egyptians and Jordanians who call themselves "Palestinians" and other Muslims will try to relocate the Muslim Terrorist's body in Jerusalem at some point. I think that is why they are not sticking in the ground but in some kind of showcase thing.

I thought Arafat was the little guy and Israel was the bully. You guys are twisting it around. Am I missing something?

I really don't see much difference between Arafat and any other of the current crop of world "leaders", our own included.

Well the Syrians want to bring back the Palestinian who was exiled when Arafat assumed power.....the one who was exiled because he wouldn't deal with Israel....because He didn't recognize it as a state.

The Palestinians close to Arafat, two of them are trying to name themselves leaders, Arafat was the Main leader of all Muslims against their Favorite enemy Israel.

Meanwhile we're in Falluja and ABC nightly news runs their Fallujah inbedded reporters piece filmed on the ground....an American soldier asks another "so he just popped out & shot at you?" and the Soldier the Camera was on said, "He isn't the first, another one we've sent to be with Ala"

Surely you don't think its a Muslim plot......poison willing Arafat (Martyrdum) & use battle for power + Qaeda for a Large attack? NYC may have a dense Jewish population, but i think you might find a higher % in Israel itself and they've Not carried out a 9/11 style attack in Israel before......this would stir the entire Muslim world into a Boil as obviously Israel/America would strike back.

Basically Revelations&Daniel for those of You Not playing the Home game.

& the Redsox won the Series under a Red Lunar Eclipse, it had been 1986 when they were last in one, and they hadn't won one in 86 years. they came back from 3 down to the Yankees & then swept the Cards......Killing the Curse of the Babe

Earthquakes, Volcanos, Hurricanes, Massive Locusts swarms

Go pick up a Bible.....it explains survival

The FDA approved Verichip (CoralGablesFL) "mark of the beast" intended to store medicle histories, it also stores new info, after its in the skin...you can still input data.

or laugh because you can't Believe and run & get your tin foil hat, but all of thee above except for the Sox....(although you could interpret that too) is in the Reading, and hopefully You'll Read more & accept Jesus Christ as Your Savior.

Arafat was the DeFacto leader of the Palestinians. 'Call me Father' type of a guy. Corrupt and rich.

Similar to Jim Jones with his faithful followers.

But, he was still the leader, like it or not. Now, however the Palestinians need to select a new leader and concentrate on getting the millions back that he stashed away in his wife's name in France.

A new leader could focus the world on finalizing the peace talks.

An independent state of Palestine would go a long way to quelling the violence.

Now if only that other old war horse was gone.

this is definitely good news.. the man let his people down time and time again.. not to mention that he exploited their situation for his own personal gain - and stood as an obstacle to any real reform.

it looks like the palestinians are politically pleased that he's dead. they seem eager to move forward and reform the plo.

now if sharon could suddenly die of a heart attack.....


hope for america...

It is now confirmed that Arafat is dead, his body will be shipped back to be burried in his Compound after a breaf military funneral in Eqypt.

The doctors continue to claim they do not know the cause of his death, nor is it listed as natual causes (old age - etc.)

Poisoning continues to be the favored rumor. But AIDs is also being sent out into the rumor mills. According to religious rites he must be burried within 24 hours of death and so no additional examinations are expected to reveal the cause of death - if it was intentional or not.

It looks like a "cover up" because you would think that modern science could determine what the cause of his sudden attack was.

Removing leaders cannot remove the problems and is not a real solution for establishing peace.

well... let's see...

the israeli/palestinian issue is a big reason why millions of people in that region hate us. so, any step to resolve that issue is good - because when the issue is resolved, anti-american pundits over there will lose a key issue.

plus, it's good news for bush's "democratize the middle east" agenda.


hope for america...

The only bad thing about his death is that he died before being tried for all his crimes.
