This 'terrorist' won a peace Nobel prize in 1994 together with Rabin and Perez. He may have a bloody past during the Israel-arab wars, but he definitely worked to restore peace during the nineties. Israel and US accuse him of launching terror attacks without serious proofs. You can only blame him for not being able to stop them.
Yes I have sympathy for Arafat. Like I have sympathy for Perez and a great admiration for Rabin. The warmongers like Sharon and the Hesbollah extremists disgust me. Clear enough for you?
And I would like to know how many civilians have been killed during GWB's Holy (Oily?) War. With all this blood spilled, your Prez should have won the 'terrorist' tag too.
