Still, he managed to hold things together in the Palestinian region for a while, so...good for him. | Oliver

Damn CNN's website for requesting payment to show the official announcement.

Reposted on: 11.11.11 0213.48 | We do not have to think he was a wonderful person, yet can still not be happy at his death. There's this balance here.
For me, his death means the end of the possibility he could be transformed into a loving man, which I believe God can do to all people. But I'm odd like that. | CRZ

I kinda wish you'd opted for "say nothing at all" but I guess it's your karma.
EDIT: Wow, your edits somehow made your post even stupider. Think I'll just delete it and save us all some grief

Granted the site is a bit biased, but, is THIS the kind of person who deserves to be treated like a respected head of state? | Famous Mortimer

Reposted on: 12.11.11 0629.02 | | I take it none of us think Israel is the wronged party in all this? Arafat wasn't a great leader, and in fact he harmed his own people by being so conciliatory with the Zionists for no real reward. Hamas will have a field day with this. | Net Hack Slasher
