Which sounds to me like approval of Israel's policy of "targetted assassination", applied to Arafat. If she really meant "waiting till Arafat dies of natural causes", perhaps she could clarify. That's not what it sounded like she was advocating.


You're right Jacob. I wish for Arafat to die, soon, and if he dies violently at Israeli hands, my only concern will be for the political repurcussions. Every day that man survives, more innocents die. The bombing at Mike's Cafe last week was carried out by terrorists he's sheltering in Ramallah and at his order. I feel no more guilt at wishing for Arafat's death than I do in wishing for Saddam Hussein's.

I still think it was a failure of Israeli nerve (though probably they had good reasons, meaning American ones, for not doing it) not to kill or exile Arafat before this. Because of the miserable Arab tendency to stick with even the most horrible leader who knows how to manipulate tribal power structures, everything is intractably stuck while Arafat remains alive.
