Maybe I am not getting it, but, it seems like he is being treated like a rock stay. Wasn't he by most standards a terrorist? Maybe I am missing something here and if so feel free to set me on the right path.
Right now, I am speechless.

Yes, it's a sad and somber day at our house.

Et tu, John Kerry?
The world is finally rid of this terrorist vermin. Though he will be proclaimed a "peacemaker", the last thing this terrorist vermin wanted was peace. IMO, he should be turning a toasty shade of black about now.
NO VIRGINS FOR YOU!!!

The Palestinians consider it a temporary grave site - until the day they hope they can honor his request to be buried in Jerusalem.translation: another round of terrorist activities in the near future.

Start with the French, who gave him a military sendoff, complete with Honor Guard. Don't forget the UN, who lowered their flags to half staff.

Wanna hear a real howler? CNN's Christianne Amanpour (AKA The War Slut) referred (near the very end of her report) to Arafat this morning as "a terrorist at times". At times. Sigh. Well, at least they used the t-word.

I'm watching the crowd in Ramallah waiting for the helicopter carrying Arafat. It is, as one would expect, hilarious in a dark and crazy kind of way.

Right now, I am speechless. There isn't anything to be speechless about. This whole article is a joke. It was probably written a week ago so Donna Abu-Nasr could go on vacation.
The only part of it that rings true is the part about the Palestinian masses, and then only because Arafat worked so hard all his life to keep them in poverty and utterly useless to the world that they have nothing else to do but turn out to "mourn."
Other "mourners" must be asking what they did recently that put them in this dog house. William Burns had to have been caught muttering to himself that that clown James Earl Carter should be the one here in Burns' place. After all, murdering, raping, pederast butchers (such as Arafat) the world over are Carter's kind of people.

I got a bad bad feeling after seeing FNC's live shots from where Arafat is going to be buried at his old compound.
It looked like ants swarming a hill.
It looked like it could become utter chaos real quick when Arafat's rotting corpse lands.

Imus is having almost too much fun with this on MSNBC.Imus wants a total riot, that would be hilarious. He wants to see these peole rush the carriage, grab the coffin, and start parading it thru the streets.
The coverage on the networks given to honor a thug is ridiculous.

Let me get this straight: according to stories, Hairyfat took about 5 Billion Dollars and secreted it somewhere, he only has a billion left and his wife and child live in amazing luxury in Paris, while the "Palestinian People" are starving and committing suicide for this murdering thief?
OK, just as long as it's correct
You can fool all of the people all of the time.

Well there are a whole lot of Arabs in Jerusalem today and not a one is looking sad. In fact, most have smiles and are out shopping to celebrate. Every single Arab I have spoken with in 5 years of living here hate Arafats guts.
But when you understand that being Palestinian is not a people but a political party, then you begin to understand the mourning. Just like the Democrats are mourning Kerrys "demise", so to are the terrorist elements mourning Arafat. They will be sorry he is gone, but they will also line up to piss on his grave.

Reminds me of a scripture. What's bad will be considered good and what's good will be considered bad, or something like that.
This would be just like giving Hitler an honourable send-off. Unbelievable.
