it might as well be on our schedule and not on theirs. its going to happen so why wait until they are prepared for it? even if israel didnt do it then i hope the muslims think israel did it.

Yeah :-). I HATE waiting for a beating....or (conversely) to dish one out! Timing is pretty important though.

NO matter WHAT, the muslims are going to find fault in Israel for Arafat's death. They don't need any reason to hate Israel, or her allies, so why should Arafat's demise change anything? I don't think it changes much.

The Islamics need to tread carefully on account of Arafat's death. The Israeli's haven't tolerated much in the past several years and they aren't going to put up with much now even though Arafat has died.

Nothing much has changed. Another terrorist has died. That's all. What people on both sides want to make of it will make or break an already bad situation. The Israelis have a pattern of first strike when they see no other alternative, and I don't expect them to break this pattern any time soon. It's very. VERY effective!

i agree. you hear a lot of people on the news saying this is an opportunity for peace but i dont see it that way. arafat was the leader of the palestinians BECAUSE he was a terrorist not in spite of being one. they dont want peace, the want jews dead and israel destroyed. this can only end in war and it might as well be sooner rather than later.
