I'm kinda curious about what kind of craziness is going on, but don't have TV.
And maybe I'm better off not seeing!
The Arafat thing was nuts..... been watching while I had my first coffee.
It was so crazy then the helicopters landed that they fought the crowd an hour just trying to get the casket to the grave site. I was watching and it seemed for awhile the crowd actually got the casket away from the security guys and passed it around. I was half expecting him to get dumped onto the ground. Chaos, automatic weapons fire in the air, people grabbing at the casket and the flag that was originally on it was lost a few times.
It was so nuts they dropped their whole itinerary of speakers and a planned moment of silence (Ha!) and just buried him without ceremony.
