| Mrs. Yasser approves of boomer attacks... |

Quite true. Of course, they don't have to be occupied. PA could probably arrive at an agreement with the Israelis in a week that'd set result in complete withdrawal and autonomy. Saying you want it and doing it are two different things. It's easier to run a general staff and find meat to blow themselves up than it is to establish a state and attend to people's needs. Suha Arafat said there would have been "no greater honor" than sacrificing her son to the Palestinian struggle for independence if she had one, al-Majalla said in its April 14-20 edition. "Would you expect me and my children to be less patriotic and more eager to live than my countrymen and their father and leader, who is seeking martyrdom?" she said. Yaassss. Sad that Yasser doesn't have a son and heir to blow himself up, isn't it? If he existed, we're sure he'd be packed with dynamite at this very moment. And my name's Murphy and I'm an Irishman. Asked whether suicide bombings served the Palestinian cause, she said: "Let me ask: 'What is one's position (supposed to be toward) an enemy who kills father, brother, sister, mother and grandfather in cold blood?' "I address this question to all those who ask, interpret and denounce these operations ... Should we remain with arms folded?" No, you should negotiate. Make agreements and keep them. The magazine did not make clear where Suha, who has a young daughter by Arafat, was at present, saying only that she has variously been reported to be in Paris, the United States or even in Ramallah, the West Bank city where the Palestinian leader is trapped in his office by Israeli troops. Arafat's wife, who has been out of sight "apparently for security reasons," said she "undoubtedly" wants to be with him during the siege. You can be that wherever she is, there aren't any bombs going off. |
