The Myth of Arafat....
The Guardian puts forth the new myth of Arafat...
What of the alternative myth of Arafat - the one that will eventually triumph in the history books? The one that will include just a fraction of the epic stories about him that most Palestinians grew up with? Arafat, for all his flaws and mistakes, stood for a just peace, based on a historic compromise. He believed in international law, in a two-state solution based on implementing UN resolution 242, and for a just settlement for refugees, the main victims of this conflict. His legitimacy came from more than the fact that he was democratically elected: he performed a historic purpose in the life of Palestinians, a purpose as yet unfulfilled. By representing his people's general will and collective spirit, he symbolised the absent state's sovereign institutions.Hat Tip: Honest Reporting.

Either the Arabs are super savvy and smart and are about to save the world or they're plump insane megalomaniacs who see life through Cubism. I have to be missing something here. I give up. I admit it. I have been subliminally infiltrated by criminal American Zionist nano-robots built by Dr.Doom who speak with British accents. Myths my ass. This guy is a magician. You know, like Doug Henning.
