Norman Shwarstkoff. (sorry for butchering his name) was asked by a reporter, something to the effect of; How do you defend yourself from people that are will to die?
Norman's answer: "You accomodate them."
I think it's way past time to accomodate Mr. Arafat.
Couldn't agree with you more -- way past time to accommodate Arafat. I have a suggestion for you since I cannot spell his name either -- I use Stormin' Norman which I can remember without looking up!
