Not many evil thugs get to die in peacefully in bed the way Arafat did. The list of his crimes will reach from here to hell, so he can start at the bottom reviewing them all. Let's leave aside the vicious murders, hijacking and assorted mayhem and thuggery for the moment.
The fact that this low rent gangster stalked the great halls of Europe, the Carter White House and the United Nations like an elder statesman when he should have been in the deepest hole that civilization could dig says much about those places. The fact that he lined his pockets like every other third world satrap while posing as some kind of martyr says much about the political sensibilities of Arabs.
The fact that his closest associates spent the last week in gay Paris dickering with his high-living wife, Suha, over just how now much they had to pay her to pull the plug on his quivering corpse says much about the French.
