I will never understand why the Bush 41 crowd thought it would be a good idea to bring Arafart and his cronies back from Tunisia to hand them the West Bank and Gaza. They were behind international terrorism, wrecked Lebanon and nearly wrecked Jordan. Sure enough, they wrecked the Pali territories, after sucking them dry.

Why didn’t Sharon “destroy” the PLO terrorists when he had the chance? Arafat’s egress from Lebanon was symbolic in a way analogous to the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. Bush 41 also turned coat on Israel — having promised (I think it was) loan guarantees in exchange for Israel’s not trying to retaliate against Baghdad’s missile and gas attacks, he reneged.
