I don't consider it paranoid. Excuse my ny gallows humor. Arafat has been in the midst of this Al Qaida business for a long time. He has been on junkets to Baghdad and Damascus. I think that His Swineness should quite literally have his feet to the fire until he squeals out everything he knows. I care little what the U.N. or the so called World Court thinks. I hope I have clarified my position re: rampaging jihadism.
Yep, been going on a long time. Islamist /Pan Arab Nationalists have been going strong for centuries. The modern problem can be traced to Jimmy Carter and his failure to wield American power to cut the noses of the clerics in Qom in 77-78. Actually it can be traced to John Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson and the failed police action in SE Asia.
At any rate, Arafat. Hussein, Al Saud, Bin Laden are all on the same Pan Arab nationalist team and the sooner we tag them with the "Common Enemy of the USA" title the better.
