For what it's worth, I tend to agree with what you're saying about Arafat. I'll find it hard to miss him. He has been fatally over-playing his hand for 15 years now and the Palestinians need to find themselves a national identity that is not defined by a self-appointed President whose only qualifications are in blowing people up. He has been a liability to the Palestinian cause ever since he sided with Saddam Hussein during Gulf War I - possibly the stupidest thing I have ever seen a so-called leader do, ever.
The above, incidentally, does not sum up my opinion on the whole Arab/Israeli situation. I just really don't like Yasser Arafat. |
Exactly my point, Arafat isn't and hasn't been good for the whole middle eastern and as a person, he will not be missed and i won't exactly be firing in the air celebrating with my gun as it some ppl's wont but I'll have a quiet satisfaction.
