The only problem with this is that it implies Arafat = Saruman. I don't think that this is fair to Saruman, after all, ONCE he was Saruman the White, leader of the Istari, no matter how far he fell.
I think we have been far too slow to get hasty. Can you imagine for one minute what it would be like to live in a place where people where exploding a couple times a week in shopping malls in our own neighborhoods? - We couldn't take half what Isreal has taken. I would run home, and bolt the doors and ever to come out again. I was scared to go to Seattle for a week after we had one day of it clear on the other coast.
I frankly don't care what the PLO wants any more. Any rightful claim they had was thrown out when they decided to play with no rules. Isreal could use our help, not our hinderance.
