Arafat is a vampire.

The Palestinians could have had a better deal 4 years ago without thousands of dead.

But he revels in death and mayhem!

He is the vilest of evil.

There are hidden advantages in the establishment of a new Palestinian state. For example: today, when Palestinians blow up Israelis, they are "terrorists" -- criminals, acting on their "own initiative", and are therefore a law enforcement problem. Tomorrow, when Palestinians blow up Israelis, they will be classed as saboteurs -- soldiers, state actors acting with the blessing of the government of the State of Palestine, and will be a military problem.

Right now the greatest strength of the terrorists is their nebulosity; tomorrow, when there is an actual State of Palestine, that advantage will disappear. Using tanks to kill individual criminals acting "on their own" is one thing; using tanks to kill enemy special operations forces acting on behalf of a state actor is something entirely different.

And Bush is cavorting with his evil partner-in-crime Mahmoud Abbas, who has been planning every terror attack with Arafat since the late 60's. It is as if Bush were meeting with Uday Hussein. I can't watch the coverage any longer, it is so disgusting.
