tonto, the branding of people as terrorists depends on whose history book you read. In 1856, the Indian army revolted against their British rulers. The British historians called that incident as a "Sepoy mutiny". The Indian historians have recorded that as "the war of Independence." And US history is also replete with such incidents. In the case of Israel, the Ben Gurions and the Jewish leaders were called "terrorists" during the years when Israel was formed. Today they are considered heroes. It is the same with Arafat. Just 10 years ago, about the time he was forming Al Fatah, we gave him the Nobel Prize etc. He was even a partner for peace during the Clinton Administration. The Israelis were negotiating with him them, is it not? And then with GWB, they came in bashing him, calling him all sorts of name. A pattern then have followed with other countries of the world. This has been their pattern in foreign policy. So it is a crock of non sense for Bush to now try to hang onto anything he can. Try to drive a wedge here. Get the Jews up in arms with the mention of Arafat. We Americans see through Bush's consistent pattern of being a divider. This is one such instance.
