Israel's current actions, on surface, appear to be insane. But are they? Here's an excerpt from:

The Conditions in Which Terrorists Thrive, found here:

Middle East "experts" warn that Arafat's replacement might be worse. It's an odd warning, given Arafat's duplicitous behavior and winks-and-nods at those terrorizing civilians in Israel and beyond in free countries.

It's also a standard warning from area "experts." Soviet experts in the early 1950s warned President Truman that he had better deal with Joseph Stalin. Otherwise, a real tough guy could exercise power from the Kremlin.

We'd have "no more Mr. Nice Guy" went the warning then, as now. Given Stalin's record of murdering at least 20 million of his own citizens and the establishment of his reign of terror, that warning seems ludicrous now.

Likewise, Arafat is hardly Mr. Nice Guy, a fact evident to all those but Middle East dreamers. With this month's 25 Israelis dead and 200 wounded — mostly civilians going about the life of free people everywhere — the warning seems nearly as ludicrous.
