Sometimes something good can come from the death of a leader. Hopefully this is the cause of celebration. OTOH, this man was responsible for countless deaths and his lust for violence made him walk away from the best deal that the Palestinians could hope for.
His death may well open a new era in the ME. If it does, then it is truly a cause for celebration.
What really makes me vomit are the crocodile tears and sypathies for this vile 'old man'. Can we expect the same outpouring of sadness when OBL finally gets his? He is an old man after all.

Don't forget to dance in the streets, flash V-signs at journalists, and shoot guns into the clear skies.

Not true...yet.
Rumor has gelled a bit more.
Recall that one source of Arafat's power is that he controls the money -- literally. His subordinates were always paid directly by him, in cash, and they would pay their own underlings the same way. Lots of cash, all directly from Arafat. He would pay them one month at a time, with only enough cash for that month.
Arafat got this money from a set of bank accounts only he controled; only he knew the account numbers and the passwords. The estimated value of these accounts are 3.2 billion dollars.

they're not gonna declare him dead until they figure out where to bury him - even though he is clinically dead and cannot survivce off of life support and has no brain activity, they will keep him like thatuntil they figure out where the bury him.
muslim, like judaism, requires burial within 24 hours of death, and arafat wants to be put in jerusalem, which is prolly a no go, so they will first negociate a place to bury him, and then pronounce him dead officially."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

When he dies, could a mod put "No, wait -- he's dead." after "But not true" in the title?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Abu Mazen is more moderate when it comes to means of struggle. He does not believe in terrorism.Originally posted by Cruddy
I really can't see a more "moderate" leader getting the popular support of a majority of Palestinians.
Mind you, I'd like to be proved wrong here.
Jailed prominent Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti is very moderate when it comes to final agreement demands.
Mohamad Dahlan, Gaza Fatah leader is rather moderate in both demands and means of struggle, though he is known to have supported and financed terrorist attacks at several points.Comment

Arafat contols/controlled only Al Aqsa, but had absolutely no control over the other Orgaizations like Hamas, which were the really active Organizations behind most of the Bombings.
Yes but Arafat controlled the palestinian police and military forces, and he ordered them to set Hamas and PIJ terrorists free.
He named streets after Hamas terrorists.
He looked the other way when Hamas and PIJ brought posters supporting martyrdom and Jihad to schools and kindergartens.
He allowed palestinian TV to broadcast ceremons of the most rabid anti-Israeli Imams, related to Hamas.
The list goes on.Comment

They did. Palestinian TV showed a sermon by some top religious dude from Gaza saying he "has no doubt that the monkeys and pigs are responsible for the assasination attempt on Arafat" (paraphrased).Originally posted by Generalissimo
