That's new information for me.
O of where dost thou hail, Celephanil, Celephanil? Why dost thou wander in Tengelwar great, why on the sea do you sail?
My point exactly. Palestine is ****ed because they now have to decide who the new leader will be. And that's not as easy as I've said in Arab countries.

well i was gonna start a thread asking ppl what they wud brand arafat as , as in a terrorist or a freedom fighter..maybe it cud be done on this thread itself...
Dont let ur studies interfere with ur education!!!!!
The Chronicle had a column on Arafat where they made him out to be some sort of saint for peace. Yes, Arafat was trying to create a liberated and democratic Palestinean state, but we have to remember how he tried to do this. He killed millions of Israelis and condoned suicide bombings along with the help of Saddam Hussein. Yes, Saddam Hussein who payed off families of suicide bombers in the Middle East. Yes, Arafats death is somewhat sad at the fact that he was a major center piece of Palestinean culture, but we can not forget what he has done to the Israelis and in some cases(suicide bombers) his own people. I hope we can recognize this yet at the same time show some condolence to the Palestinean people.
