Carter showing symtoms of senility:Former US President Jimmy Carter calls Arafat a "powerful human symbol" Thu Nov 11,2004 MIAMI (AP)- Former US President Jimmy Carter called Yasser Arafat "a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate" who united Palestinians in their pursuit of a homeland. "Yasser Arafat's death marks the end of an era and will no doubt be painfully felt by Palestinians throughout the Middle East and elsewhere in the world," Carter said. "He was the father of the modern Palestinian nationalist movement. A powerful human symbol and forceful advocate, Palestinians united behind him in their pursuit of a homeland," he said in a statement distributed by his Atlanta, Georgia-based Carter Center. He said that while Arafat provided "indispensable leadership to a revolutionary movement" and played a key role in forging a peace agreement with Israel in 1993, he was excluded from negotiations in recent years. "My hope is that an emerging Palestinian leadership can benefit from Arafat's experiences, be welcomed to the peace process by (Israeli) Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon and (US) President (George W.) Bush, and be successful in helping to forge a Palestinian state living in harmony with their Israeli neighbors," Carter said. Both Carter and Arafat are Nobel peace prize laureates. Arafat, who died at a Paris hospital early Thursday, was to be buried at his West Bank headquarters after a military funeral ceremony in Cairo Friday. Carter "will not be attending the funeral," said Jon Moor, a Carter Center spokesman. ****************** Powerful human symbol? Inhuman would have been a better choice of words. Joe Scarborough just asked if Ronald Reagan will ever win a Nobel peace prize and answered "I doubt it." Great donnybrook over Arafat's "credentials" on Joe's show between him, Pat Buchanan,Larry Kudlow & Alexander Haig. Buchanan must be suffering from dementia as well--he's defending Arafat's legacy.
