Arafat's Legacy: Terrorism
Here are reactions to the death of Yasser Arafat from Power Line, Jed Babbin, Aaron Mannes, Tom Gross, and Jeff Jacoby. A link to Arafat's unofficial obituary at Pajama Hadin is contained in the Power Line post. How anyone can deny that this man was a terrorist is beyond me. Here's a paragraph from Mr. Jacoby's column to keep in mind while taking in the mainstream media's coverage of Arafat's death:
How is it possible to reflect on Arafat's most enduring legacy -- the rise of modern terrorism -- without recalling the legions of men, women, and children whose lives he and his followers destroyed? If Osama bin Laden were on his deathbed, would we neglect to mention all those he murdered on 9/11?
