***...Mr. Giuliani dispatched an aide to tell Yasser Arafat to leave a concert at Lincoln Center celebrating the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. I was no fan of Mr. Arafat, but he had an invitation from President Bill Clinton. Lincoln Center was not Mr. Giuliani's living room, and the mayor's action did nothing to advance progress in the Middle East....***

Not to raise a Technical point, but (I will not dignify the murderer with the title of “Mr.”) Arafat had an invitation to attend the UN from the UN; not from Bill Clinton. I’m not sure that Arafat was a guest of Bill Clinton or not, but Rudy’s objection was that a “known terrorist” is not allowed to walk the streets of NYC. Arafat was the head of an organization that was declared a “Terrorist” organization by our very own Bill Clinton State Department.
Given all of the above, Rudy was 110% correct in his actions. As further proof of his correctness, the liberals and all of the hand-wringers in the administration and the Lamestream media backed down when he showed backbone in a press conference and re-stated his position. This was in 1995 long before he showed his continuing leadership in 9/11.
