No, but it will resolve the Arafat-Israeli conflict.

I have NO problem with the "termination" of this raghead!
Just makes it one less to deal/put up with.

I agree assassinating Yasir will not solve the wider conflict. But it's sure a step in the right direction.

How does the old saying go?..."Killing him would bring me little pleasure. But sometimes a little is enough."

Arafat should have been vaporized before Leon Klinghoffer's body hit the water.
I have no idea why we've continually coddled this filthy terrorist.
Are we so afraid of angering the Palestinians?
Or are we more afraid of finally allowing Israel to secure it's borders once and for all.

He should absolutely be terminated with extreme prejudice, if a trial is made impossible by circumstances. The world is done no good having a master murderer free to plot the deaths of more innocents.

All kidding aside, I'll dance a jog of glee when someone finally does what should have been done decades ago. Sharon kicks himself every day for not giving his sniper the go ahead to take the shot when Arafart was about to leave for Tunis.

I disagree with the author. The death of Arafat will, as she says, simply see the rise of another leader.
But it will go like this. First, there will be a period of uprising. Then, however, will be a great internal power struggle with huge sums of money, power, and prestige as the prize. This should take a few years as brother discovers his brother really wasn't. The palestinian organization will be sidelined for much of that period of time.
During this time, Israel will be able to work on securing itself from whomever the eventual victor happens to be. (Even to the point of eliminating those aspirants to the throne that they consider especially odious.)
Actually, this article is possible evidence that the assassination is being seriously considered. It gives Israel a group in "opposition" to such an act as assassination. They can be the "good guys" the western press points out to the world as proof that Israel has a group of "right thinking" politicians who deserve support.
In other words, a diversion.

Exactly.
Killing the Hussein Boys didn't end the conflict in Iraq---does that mean we should have allowed them to escape?
