"I agree that Arafat has to die" So do I but i will add the caveat "of natural causes". Killing him would be a huge mistake by Israel. They would be vilified by the euro-leftists and it would just make things worse on the ground imo. Plus it is wrong unless there is a smoking gun as relates to specific acts of terror. Notice he denounced the bus bombing. Who is hard hearted now?

Let me just say, as a matter of extreme understatment, that the Palestinians do not have, and never have had, any leader remotely resembling Robert E. Lee. Lee refused to shift to guerilla war, surrendered, and told his men to cooperate with the Union and make the best of the situation. I don't blame Sharon for not wanting to shake Arafat's hand, but he has no reason to refuse to work with someone who doesn't have blood on his hands ...and who would that be? Arafat's lieutenant of forty years? who has no power to do anything anyway.
