Good for him! The other guys from the EU, who can't wait to prostrate themselves before Arafat, they make me sick.

Any chance we could get Berlusconi and Powell to switch places?

I misread, and thought you used "prostate" and "arafat" in the same sentence.

"after the new premier insisted he also see Arafat. "
Sounds like blackmail to me. It would be easy to stop all this sillyness; just kill Afart.
