This time Arafat really is dead

[AlCzervik]

or so they're saying on CBS.

[Mizmoon]

1. maybe they'll do a "Weekend at Bernie's" thing with him

That ought to keep the peace (such as it is) for a few more days.

[MissMarple]

16. Maybe they've already been doing that.

And they should keep it up. :bounce:

[Pirate Smile]

2. I've heard this one before. Fool me once, uummm, fool me twice,

won't get followed again.

[JimmyJazz]

7. That was always one of my favorite Who songs!

:P

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Sort of like Francisco Franco.

[Solitaire]

4. Arafat

Yes, he is really dead this time.

[Sannum]

5. Uh, oh....

My sources say he is alive again

[Sannum]

6. Nevermind...He is dead again

[Solitaire]

8. LOL

[AlCzervik]

9. evertyime i hear he's dead i keep adding.....

[democracyindanger]

10. BBC also reporting

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

11. So what does this mean for the Middle East?

Pretend I know nothing. Be basic.

[Socialist Dem]

15. Well, it depends....

The Israelis always considered Arafat an obstacle. So now that the obstacle is gone, let's see if they are willing to start dealing with the Palestinians. As far as the Palestinians, it seems to me that Arafat was more of a figure head than anything else in recent years.

26. Thanks I appreciate it!

[Amaya]

12. He's dead again?

Guess we'll see...

[Nikepallas]

13. I am trying to be respectful of his death but my mind has been wondering

Was he not already dead in a sense and they only waited until they could figure who would be in charge?

I am also wondering what his passing will do to that area.

[Catshrink]

14. Dead Again was a pretty good movie....

Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branaugh, with a little bit of Robin Williams.

[MissMarple]

19. Good movie.

:D

[mac56]

21. I agree - Excellent movie

No way I would have predicted that ending.

[Catshrink]

25. That was a great twist!

[NYC Liberal]

17. ....Again.

[Zero Gravitas]

18. 'E's not dead

'E's restin'

[Nevernose]

20. Maybe Arafat is the second coming of Christ?

The guy sure does die/resurrect enough...

[AlCzervik]

23. Wouldnt that just be the shit?

If Arafat was the second coming? The right would just explode.

[thedailyshow]

22. so the il dictatore is finally dead!

now for Dictator Dubya...

[Pirate Smile]

24. Have you ever seen someone's death be made into such a

joke by the dead, not dead, dead, not dead reports.

I think I'm just slap-happy.
