You might want to educate yourself on the Israelo-Palestinian conflict.

Arafat dead = no control over terrorism. ****ing idiot.

If true, it was awfully thoughtful of him not to appoint a potential successor in the event that this were to occur. He should have done so before he went to Paris.

Exactly; for both sides. If Sharon had died too, it wouldn't have been so much of a problem. But now Sharon can act without Arafat as his foil. The results will not be pretty.

Thank you Bush for redefining what terrorism is and turning a generation of Americans into intolerant fools.

I agree, said Lo the T

And I demand a restart button for the USA, Israel and Palestine. Nintendo, Sony, bring it on! It's all (like) a game anyway.

Anyone outside of the US is now a terrorist thanks to the US news daily fear campaign.

Debka File
DEBKAfile’s sources report both statements true if Arafat is brain dead and kept alive on life support machines. Paris may be delaying final announcement for all-clear from Palestinian officials. Hence confusion.
I think that he may be removed from life support and they are trying to figure out how and when to do it, that's all.
