RB, I have to disagree, merely painting Arafat as a boogieman is just nieve and historically wrong. The man was a grade a Douche. His actions led to 2 destabilized neighboring countries (Jordan which recovered quickly, and Lebanon). His freedom and political group the PLO is the umbrella to several terrorist organizations, has been for over 30 years. He is responsible for inciting two intifada's which targetted Israel civilians. Plus look how well things worked out for Palestine under his rule. The Israeli's were right not to deal with him, he was a two faced coward.
