I marvel at the willful blindness of the American media regarding Arafat's reign of terror, treating him instead as a kindly George Washington. But the truth is not forgotten everywhere. One excellent article is Arafat's Timeline of Terror from FrontPageMag.com.
I would rather see the media do something as reprehensible as praise Scott Peterson for exercising a man's right to choose than to see them make a hero of out someone who harmed so many thousands of people and brought terror to much of the world.
The fact that the monster Arafat is a darling of the American Left shows who these extreme leftists really are: more than just anti-Semites, they are enemies of mankind. When they moan about a divided America, let us remember who is doing the dividing. Those in favor of Marxism, Islamic fascism, or any other form of elitist totalitarian government hardly represent the people that they try to stir up and deceive.
