Arafat missed a big opportunity here. He could have stayed at his HQ "prison" hemmed in by Israel to die. Then he'd be the martyr "killed" by Israeli inhumanity, a gift that would keep giving to the PR efforts of the PLO.

I'm glad he didn't do this, since he is clearly a scumbag.

Trivia: did you know that Hillary Clinton is a huge fan of Arafat going back to the early 1970's?

The reason I asked this question was that Arafat has taken tons of money intended for his people and put it into his personal accounts. This money came from the US, Israel and other sources (the payoff for his cooperation in the peace process in the 1990's - back when it looked like he was cooperating).

Take my word for it, there will be a lot of infighting over this money. The only ones who will clearly not get it will be the actual Palestinian people.

France's Chirac hails Arafat as man of courage

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Jacques Chirac, confirming Yasser Arafat's death, has hailed the Palestinian leader as a man of courage and conviction who embodied the Palestinian struggle for a state.

"It is with emotion that I have just learnt of the death of President Yasser Arafat, the first elected president of the Palestinian Authority," Chirac said in a written statement on Thursday. "I offer my very sincere condolences to his family and to people close to him."

Chirac urged the international community to persevere with efforts to ensure an international peace plan known as the road map is put into effect in the Middle East.

Many say the same about the US admin after Bush's "Sharon is a man of peace" comment. Both sides should listen (and talk) to each other regardless of their opinions of each other's representatives because there's no progress any other way.
