To use a well-worn cliché, but one which clearly communicates its message, it is enough to gag a maggot. “It” is the adulation being heaped on one of the world’s master terrorists, the recently, and thankfully, departed Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).
Arafat has been praised as a statesman, for his “undisputed” and “extraordinary” courage (does it take courage to send murderers to slaughter children?), and for his “successful acts of terror.”
The latter comment came from columnist Gwynne Dyer, who at least had the honesty (decency clearly is beneath her) to admit that Arafat was a terrorist.
If those comments are not enough to cause you to leave your lunch in the nearest wastebasket, consider what French President Jacques Chirac said in tribute to the man who raised the art of the mass butchery of the innocent in their homes and schools to new and sophisticated levels (keeping in mind that the French are among the most anti-Semitic people on earth).
Chirac called Arafat “a man of courage and conviction who for 40 years has incarnated the Palestinians' fight for recognition of their national rights. I have come to bow before president Yasser Arafat and pay him a final homage.”
Homage to a man who delighted in sending his surrogate monsters to kill moms and dads and their children in their homes? Who ordered the machine-gunning of school buses and the bombing of restaurants and nightclubs? A violent, vicious man with no conscience, no morals and no compunctions about the killing and maiming of anyone Jewish?
Despicable, even for the French.

Par for the course, actually.
Gwynne Dyer is a man. Makes you wonder how much this guy knows about the subjects he opines on.
you say terrorist the PC world says freedom fighter. PC means politically cleansed and not politically correct b/c the jerks in the media want to tell you how stupid and wrong you are and you should listen to them with adulation. On worldnetdaily.com they are conducting a poll to what your response is to AraRATs death, i voted for thank goodness another one bites the dust although ecstatic and euphoria were my second choice.
I do not understand this love affair. I never have and I never will.
They all wish they could murder whoever they wanted, could rake in millions, and enjoy world wide fame and the support of millions of fanatical followers. Morality, they don't give a darn about. They just wish they could be like this puke.
It is really just that simple.
The only thing they have ever had against mass murder and protection rackets, is that it seemed hard to get away with, compared to petty editorial page gripping and minor government hand outs.
