Oh no, that is really sad. He'll be missed by so many. A genius of a person.

Possibly the last guy with direct involvement in that situation to make sense:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...e_us/obit_said

among his many theories (which have pretty much been proven as laws now):
Two years ago, he said that Israel's "efforts toward exclusivity and xenophobia toward the Arabs" had actually strengthened Palestinian determination.
Sad.

Think Israel will attempt some bombing during his Funeral? Never know who may be there... perhaps his relatives.





Truly sad. A real bright guy, with great insight in human nature, politics, and society.

I think if more people listened to what he had to say, many lives would have been saved.

His thoughts apply to more than just the Israeli/Palestinian situation at hand. They go much further. Really they touch on many conflicts in society.
I always use protection when fscking my Mac... Do you?

Democracy Now! contains a long speech by Said today. I highly recommend hearing/watching it:
