I am with you and Chair on this. I refuse to watch any news which attempts to glorify him. He was an evil man who escalated the terrorism in Israel. He met with an inglorious end and deserves to be villified, not deified.
I hope the Israelies bomb fire out of the West Bank where he may be buried.
Bill Bennett sub on radio just now mentioned honoring arafat in this way would be like honoring Saddam when he dies.. good point
