You are ssssoooo right on! Opened my local paper and the big headlines on the front page are: "Arafat, reviled and revered, is dead". The story describes rather on the glowing side of this madhatter. araRATfink was a DISEASE and died of a horrible DISEASE. Finally, God administers justice of his own.
Personally, I thought Arafat had outlived any usefulness long'bout '83 ... This jackal caused or promoted the deaths of many persons since then, and worldwide instability.
I shake the dust of my shoes off in leaving him behind, and the rest of the world ought to, also.
