In light of 1 Timothy 2:1-4,
It would be wrong to wish for Arafat to go to hell.
It would have been a glorious moment, had he come to repentance. We should pray for our enemies. We do not pray that their evil schemes succeed. We pray that they be kept safe - to give them more time to repent. We pray that they be given wise advise - so that their foolishness does not harm their people. We pray that they seek God - that they would find Him.
But it would be quite foolish to think that Arafat is in Heaven now.

I Timothy 2: 1-4

Pray for Everyone
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

AMEN
