One more obstacle removed
Yasser Arafat is dead. So lets get down to brass tacks. This is a man who could have done more for peace in the Middle East.
But instead he pursued the course of encouraging suicide bombers, taught a generation to hate Israel and
would call for the destruction of that country many times during his life.
So while there will be a spike in the violence because of his passing. The fact that he is no longer there, will be an improvement.
For I am not speaking ill of the dead. I am saying that he is not the hero that our press would like to make you think he was.
And that in the end, he was an obstacle to peace. And now he is facing his god, that is a conversation I would like to hear.
