But you continue to naiviely assume that Arafat's cause was Palestinian statehood (which is indeed a just cause), not the destruction of Israel and a perpetual state of war
___How can I say it differently? Arafat was corrupt but the cause that he was associated with had merit...if the association was
fake, maybe so, but he was still
associated with it---and by itself
it is a cause which has merit...so says President Bush and me, Bushbacker..so the UN can honor that cause without honoring Arafat
That's putting it mildly. He was a terrorist. ....no less of one than Hussein and bin Laden, in fact.
"it is a cause which has merit...so says President Bush and me, Bushbacker"
lol....yeah, I get it that you support the Prez. You've told me three times now, and your username kinda gives it away. I support him too.
".....so the UN can honor that cause without honoring Arafat"
Lowering the UN flag to half-staff on the day of Arafat's death honors the man himself, and that man was a terrorist hellbent on the destruction of Israel (and a man who has ordered the death of many American citizens). If the UN wants to honor the Palestinian cause there are plenty of better ways of doing it than honoring a man who cared not one whit for peace.
