No you are not. I suppose one man's freedom fighter is anothers terrorist. Arafat has not done anything terribly nasty lately, and people have short memories. I like these "Israel was a bad idea in the first place" or "we should have never gone into Iraq" answers. Non-responsive, and don't contribute anything to the discussion. That is like a doctor telling you, "The whole problem is you are a fat bastard who smokes" and then does not do anything about your heart attack. Israel is there and we are in Iraq, not that the two are intimately linked or anything, now what do we do. The difference between Begin and Arafat is that one was fighting for independance and then peace and one is fighting for independance and the eradication of a country and its people at any cost.
