Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from outlaw to statesman," Kerry wrote in "The New War," now out of print.

Kerry added that terrorists "whose only object is to disrupt society require no such 'role models [as Arafat].' "


Things have to be read in context. When I read these statements, my understanding is that Kerry feels that Arafat's newfound "respectability" will encourage terrorism.

Kerry is condemning Arafat, not praising him.

[Edit: after reading the thing for a fourth time, I have to admit I have no idea what the hell he is trying to say]

Just last month, Kerry pointed to his book and told Fox News that it shows he'd be "a president who does see ahead."

A little political magic.

Last July, Kerry told the Arab American Institute that Israel's security fence is "provocative" and a barrier to peace, but last week, he told Jewish leaders at a New York debate that the fence is "necessary to the security of Israel."

"There's no question that I was none too pleased with reports on what he said [to Jewish leaders]," said Arab American Institute head Jim Zogby, a member of the Democratic National Committee who backs Kerry.

Zogby said he contacted Kerry aides and was told that the Democrat objects to the location of the fence.


Next week Kerry and Theresa will propose a makeover for the wall in a more neutral color
