A sad, sad thing. I'm sure they'll have to name streets after Arafat eventually -- if only to please their Muslims.
Of course we have streets named after Malcolm X and Strom Thurmond -- and there's no difference. Militance based on prejudice and ignorance is wrong the world over.
Damnit, you just know that the sands of time are going to bury the evils of Arafat somehow -- funny that the only things he ever accomplished will get washed away, and all that will remain is some legacy as a leader and peacemaker based upon anything *but* the facts.
