May his many victims at last find peace.

And also, may his people at last find their stolen money.

Yeah, may the victims of WW2 get the peace, and money they deserve from Bush's grandpappy investing in the Nazis.
Want to hand back the wealth to all those who have suffered under US invasions, wars, etc?

Why don't you just keep quiet for once? Your arrgance just sickens me now, it's gone beyond a laughig matter.

I'll believe it when I see the coroner's examination results. The guy has been alternately reported as alive and dead for over a week now, like some bizarre "Schr�dinger's Arafat" or something.

If he is indeed dying, then this is a problem. It wouldn't be so bad if Sharon went with him, but despite whatever else these two might have been they were perfect foils for one another. With one alive and the other dead, I predict extreme nastiness in the very near future.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Wow, never thought anyone would have anything negative to say about simey. Then again, I never dreamed anyone would have something nice to say about arafat. Then again, there are quite a few terrorists sympathizerd lurking around macnn as well.

Just been thinking, my family suffered in Nazi Germany. How about the child of Prescott Bush apologise for using money his dad garnered from funding the Nazis? Money, that today, still keeps the pockets of the Bush family rich. Hey, wait a minute, isn't bush rich too? Why doesn't he gve his money to the poor on the streets of America?

How about it?

It depends on your perspective. I have no more respect for Arafat, than I do for Bush. As to Simey, I'm sick of his apologia, and arrogant crap he spews out in here.

Arafat was a man who was accepted back in to the international community, yet you find it repulsive that people show sympathy at his death?

Nice one that.

I generally don't mourn for those who champion the death of innocent civilians. It's a morality thing.

BBC are carrying it now. Kind of strange that no-one knows why he is dying.

As compared to those who say civilian casualties are just a fact ofwar? I'd rather people were honest about it. Collateral damage I think the US calls it.

As to the Bush-Nazi thing. get lost.

Look, to the right-wing Americans here, please just stay out of this thread if you have nothing but stupidity to say. Ok? Don't derail it.

I was thinking they were going to put him in a stasis field like the Galactic Emperor in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

The hereditary Emperor is nearly dead and has been so for many centuries. In the last moments of his dying coma he was locked in a statis field which keeps him in a state of perpetual unchangingness. All his heirs are now long dead, and this means that without any drastic political upheaval, power has simply and effectively moved a rung or two down the ladder, and is now seen to be vested in a body which used to act simply as advisers to the Emperor - an elected Governmental assembly headed by a President elected by that assembly. In fact it vests in no such place.

Praise Allah. Arafat is dying. Maybe peace can now be found in Israel as a tribute to all of the death and murder attributed to the great arafat.

I wonder if there will be even more conflict over where this man is buried.

A man who has seen, and witnessed many years of varying troubles, we should not forget the prominence of the fight he so vividly brought to the world's attention

I just hope Bush gets a slow death, painful, and forgotten about in a second, as well as his comrades.

That's fuuny, cause that's what I said when Reagan died, and what I wish every day that Bush is in power. Let's not forget those other evil-doers, Kissinger, Sharon, or Rummie. Such symbols of virtue in our world.

I suppose the Palestininians get to spend the next 100 years going on a treasure hunt for their stolen money. However, we do know where some of it went, he'd been sending $100,000 /mo to his wife in France while his people starve.

Compared to a parasite like Arafat, they're paragons of virtue.

Kissinger is a great freedom fighting hero along with the peace loving Sharon.

Truly great men.

God bless 'em!

You do realize that you're only supposed to say the Mourner's Kaddish over your parents and immediate family members.

That alone is very offensive, that you would mourn the terrorist, may his name be erased and memory forgotten.

Attacking Simey also doesn't go far here.

Thanks for playing, this thread is now closed.
