Yasir Arafat was an evil man. He ordered American diplomats, held hostage by his terrorists, killed. He condoned child suicide bombers and attacks on elementary schools. His terrorist organization, Black September, murdered athletes in the Munich Olympic games. He was an enemy to humanity.
Yet world leaders still have a difficult time calling evil for what it is.
The President of France called Arafat "a man of courage"; proving again the word must not mean the same thing in French. Former President Jimmy Carter, lacking courage, can only euphemistically describe Arafat as a "Powerful human symbol and a forceful advocate"; one can't get more "forceful" than cold-blooded murder. Even President Bush asked God to "Bless his soul", having more faith in the redemption of the unrepentant soul then I do.
The truth is, Arafat was simply a murderer.
