#1 I don't have the info to research but maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong : It was Europe, James Baker and the UN who forced Arafat and his PLO on Israel at Madrid at the beginning of the 90's?

#2 Secretary of State Colin Powell of course had to say that exiling or executing Arafat would incite Arab rage, that it would be most unhelpful to the peace process, etc., etc.

"Unhelpful"???? Haaahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!!!

Arafart's permanent disappearance from the stage would be the biggest boost that the peace process could ever receive.

#3 Probability of Yasser getting zapped seems to be trending up in the past few days. I see a bus boom in the relatively near future followed by a an Apache raid on Ramallah...
