>He's no more the father of international terrorism than any one person in history has been the father of evil itself.

Untrue. He organized the world's first international plane hijackings in the late 60s and early 70s, which was the precursor to today's modern Islamic terror.

>Like I said in a later post, I don't doubt that Arafat helped to bring about this mess. In fact, that notion only supports my point even more. What Arafat helped to foster in the past has grown so out-of-control that even if he were to shout "No more!" with 100% integrity, it would hardly make a dent in the violence.

As I said earlier, he started it himself two years ago, and his own people have the most powerful and abundant weapons in the territories.

>It is my belief that the terrorist groups in Palestine have a Mafia-like grip on the people they claim they are fighting for. And I believe they control Arafat just as much as they control domestic opinion.

And those beliefs are wrong.

>EDIT: I'd be happy to see links to articles that prove my opinion wrong.

Z will provide... As I've said before, I don't bookmark articles, but I know where to look for this stuff... I'll get you some links during the course of the week.
