That's another way of looking at it.
I don't believe being hospitable to thugs and terrorists is acceptable. SoH Pelosi left American soil to engage in her "diplomacy". Mayor Giuliani could have had Mr. Arafat arrested.

I don't believe being hospitable to thugs and terrorists is acceptable. I don't either and I never would have invited them. However, the decision was not ours to make.
Mayor Giuliani could have had Mr. Arafat arrested.
I don't think he could have legally. That would have gone against centuries of accepted diplomatic protocol.

It's also worth noting that Giuliani's treatment of Arafat was nothing more than hypocritical pandering on his part. Only a few weeks earlier, he had actually
honored Irish Republican Army spokesman Gerry Adams at an official city event.
