Medford, MA, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's death could open a new opportunity for a lasting peace in the Middle East.

Clinton, D-N.Y., Wednesday night addressed a supportive crowd at Tufts University on the United States' Middle Eastern policies, covering points such as the ongoing military action in Iraq and Iran's nuclear program.

Clinton, who spoke a few hours before Arafat's death was announced, said: "Yasser Arafat could not make the transition from guerrilla leader to national leader. At the end of the day, Mr. Arafat was unwilling or unable to take that leap of faith."

Much of the talk, which she started by saying she had hoped to be speaking of Middle East foreign policy from a perspective of a "President Kerry," questioned the moves by President Bush.

She ended her speech, saying, "I can only hope that this administration will be guided by reality and evidence, not ideology and partisanship," the Tufts Daily reported.

A Kerry Administration would be guided by the UN. He said as much himself. And that, not faggot marriage, is the main reason he's not our President.

Klinton giving speeches on Foreign Policy is like Michael Moore giving speeches on Personal Hygiene and obesity.
