Icon Marc, Pat, and Arafat

Fab trio huh? It rhymes too! I'm assuming you guys (Marc and Pat) are joking about us mourning his death...or am I wrong?

Anyway, I don't really have a witty response at the moment so I'll just make a serious comment, if that's ok.

For years the Israeli government has claimed the big hold up in negotiations with the Palestinians has been that that they don't want to sit down with Arafat. Well, now he's dead. He's out of the way. Hhmmmmmmmm...will they suddenly find it in their hearts now to settle up and sit down to honest talks to try and bring about a solution to the situation? No excuses now, right? Somehow I doubt it, Sharon and company are as honest and trustworthy as Bush and friends. Plus we're setting them up for more muscle flexing than ever and acting as if we're behind that mayhem 100%. Why negotiate when you can crush them right?

If you guys are trying to twist whatever we say into "Oh, now you love Arafat!" just like dissenting opinions about Iraq were constantly twisted into "Oh, now you love Saddam!" or "Now you're on the side of the terrorists!" then all I can say is I hope someday you wake up and GET A CLUE....

Anyway, I did find David's response to be pretty good...I can't top it and at the moment I can't even think straight...I'm tired...
