There are conservatives who think we shouldn't be rejoicing at the death of Arafat... That we should be reserved and all that.

I think they're whacked for thinking that. One said that just because he is hated and reviled doesn't mean that we should celebrate his death. She finished by mentioning that Bush is hated and reviled.

I got pissed at that point. Nobody compares Bush to Arafat on my watch. There's a world of difference between a man who has sworn to bring peace to the world, even at the edge of a sword, and a man who used the sword to obstruct peace, to kill tens of thousands an many, many more. The is no moral equivalence between Bush being hated and Arafat being hated. The former being undeserved bad press, and the latter being well deserved for being a murderer and terror sponsor.

I'm so tired of the moral equivocation that they teach in schools these days!!! Where do they find the guts to teach kids that tripe?
