Yes, Bush sais Arafag is "an exception" because he pursued "peace" in the past. Never mind that he gave up absolutely nothing in the Oslo Accords. He just got lucky enough to deal with two Jews who wanted to destroy their country.

Wow, you are really having a temper tantrum aren't you.

For all lurkers here is AmericaninTokyo's "original" thread,

Bush "War On Terrorism" Now a Big Joke: "Arafat Is Not A Terrorist" (Japanese News Report Breaking)

Sheesh it must be getting towards 6:30 AM in Tokyo, looks like you had a long night.

Will somebody....anybody...please explain to me why the "world" has made this guy and the Pali's into a sacred cow!?

I feel like I'm stuck in an old episode of the Twilight Zone.

Bush impresses me as a real man's man and a real American.

Why would you post the same article twice, unless to prove your point?

Bush won't say Arafat is a terrorist because it would give Sharon license to kill Arafat. I think we want Arafat out but not a martyr. Bush won't call him a terrorist, but won't be in the same room with him either.
