What is SHE celebrating ???
"Should we celebrate now that Ara-FAT is dead?)"
Yes.
I've been struggling with this question for a week. I guess I hope in my heart he made a sincere repentence before it was too late, but I doubt that he did.
"He who rejoices in the calamity of others will not get his prayers answered."
A public celebration of joy would be unseemly. Be not like unto the Palestinians! However expressing satisfaction that this little demon has finally left the stage is wholly appropriate.
A murderous tyrant has departed the world, assumed room temperature, I would say 'joined the choir invisible' but there's literally no chance in Hell of that happening, will immediately proceed to rot, is on his way to the throne of the Almighty to be judged for his foul deeds here on Earth, and his passing will no doubt sow confusion amongst the ranks of would be homicide bombers.
From where I sit, there's no reason not to pull the tab on a cool one, pop the cork from a bottle, say a prayer of Thanksgiving, and just plain jump up and down while whooping and hollering.
Wow, what a week it's been. Bush is reelected by damn near 6 million votes, Clarence Thomas may well be the next Chief Justice of SCOTUS, and Yasser Arafat becomes food for whatever worm lives in Ramalla.
It just doesn't get much better than that.

November is turning out to be a very bad month for Democrats. First Bush is re-elected, then USA wipes out the terror strong hold of fallujah, and now this? Libbies must be crying their hearts out. They took Bush's re-election harder than they took 9/11.
While I certainly won't lose any sleep over the final demise of this mass murderer -- I find it very unbecoming to celebrate the death of any person. Somewhere someone is in mourning and they deserve our prayers and condolences, no matter how evil the dead person may have been.
"When the wicked perish, there is jubilation"
The father of homicide bombers is finally dead. Wrap him in a pig skin and send him to meet the devil. He was truly a monster.

However, I'm also worried about who the successor will be.
Re 13:10 Whoever is destined to go into captivity, goes into captivity. Whoever shall kill with the sword, shall surely be killed by the sword. (Here is the endurance and faith of the saints.)

Re 21:8 But as for the cowards, the faithless, the abominable, And for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, Idolaters, and all liars, Their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. "This is the second death."
