Arafat dead at 75

Just heard on the news that Yasser Arafat died today. Can't find an online article yet...my guess is that it either just happened or was just officially announced, so nothing's been put up yet.

Just FYI...

Long overdue! Good riddance! I hate to "celebrate" the death of another human, just on principle....But he was deserving of a much worse fate....death is too kind for that man.

Regardless, it almost inspires me to throw a party in celebration!

Now PERHAPS there's a chance of Israel and the Palestinians working out their problems.....I'm not holding my breath.....but I'm crossing my fingers.

And to think that they actually gave that piece of $h!+ the Nobel Peace Prize many years ago!!!

The value and meaning of that award was certainly diminished on that day, to say the least!......

May he NOT rest in peace.

Mike

KV and Mike agreeing on something...the stars must be "right"

Seriously, good riddance to him...maybe, if the Palestinians get more moderate leadership, something could actually be worked out between them and Israel...

I've lost all respect for the Nobel Prize since Arafat AND Jimmy Carter got it, I see a trend emerging.

No, actually that's a mis-translation. It's "sturgeons", not virgins.

Did anyone see the reports that he has been through billions of dollars while his people have suffered the way they have? He was reported to have been worth $5B at one point. Now that he is dead the money has mysteriously vaporized. That may have been the reason for the life support delay, covering the paper trails.

As far as Mr. Carter goes, the man has spent most of his life trying to bring peace and justice to this planet by actually practicing the teachings of Christ, something very few "Christians" in this world actually do. I can't think of a guy who deserved it more.

All well and good regarding the Christ-Like behavior, but didnt he get the NPP in part for facilitating North Korea getting nuclear reactors from the US? Aren't those same reactors being used to breed weapons grade material? James Edward is a dottering old leftist that needs to go retire and drink the last remaining six-pack of Billy Beer.
