Terry MacAuliffe is a disgusting vile human being. So was Arafat. The thought of intimacy between them is so hideous that I will not be able to sleep for the next week.

In his memoir _Red Horizons_ Ion Mihai Pacepa describes how the Romanians bugged the guest quarters and taped Arafat and his strong young bodyguards going at it.

They won't release his medical records. Was one of his strong young bodyguards er careless?

Mark Steyn recently wrote regarding Fallaci's description of Yasser,

"Arafat was a blowsy old queen – “a massive trunk, huge hips… red and fleshy lips”.

I am struck by how the left media joyfully spread every rumor imaginable about J. Edgar Hoover but remain respectively silent about Arafat.
Yes, there have been worse dictators and despots, but he will be remembered as a theif and murderer who seduced and defiled generation upon generation of Arab youth and humiliated the elites of the world who were old enough to know better and foolishly wasted their nation's treasure on this creature.

He was a unique monster who still defiles the youth and statesmen from beyond the grave. ANYONE who respectfully visits his grave site
should be ashamed of themselves.

The word evil is thrown around alot but I think the word applies perfectly to Arafat.
The devil seduces and corrupts the simpleton and the genius and so did Arafat, even in death.

She makes Arafat seem like an Arab Silenus:

Fallaci tells the reader everything she is thinking, seeing, hearing and feeling. In other words, she gives the reader the experience of the interview. A clear example of this is seen in Fallaci's description of her interview with Yasser Arafat. She records everything about Arafat's appearance, to the point that an image forms in the readers mind. She talks of his "thick, Arab mustache and his short height which, combined with small hands and feet, fat legs, a massive trunk, huge hips, and a swollen belly, made him appear rather odd"

I thoroughly agree about the evil part. You have only to look at the current state of the Palestinians - all of the killing and corruption and lack of legal authority. That is the chaos he was aspiring to create - because, as an orthodox Marxist, he saw in that chaos the wellspring of his people rising up against the Israeli oppressor to drive them into the sea.

This is the world that Arafat made.
