re: jc ~ not all scum like yak methinks -- bob ? "Last week's Guardian Weekly (that I subscribe to) ran an article on Gilad Sharon (Aerial's son) by one Conal Urquart, well respected independent journalist based in Jerusalem, outlining elctoral irregularities, nepotism and corruption involving father & son.
There's just no end to it, is there?"

Carls, did the Guardian Weekly by any chance make mention of the Billion dollars that arafat has stolen, a billion dollars of aid money, money intended to help his people, the very people he claims he loves so much?? In regards to electoral irregularities, well, arafat doesnt need elections at all, he knows that ALL the people want him as their leader, they voted him in once and that's good enough for him, why bother wasting money holding any more elections..... and as far as nepotism and corruption go...... I am sure if you looked up the words in the dictionary, there would be a picture of arafat in there, as he is the prime example of both. And you are right, there is no end to it at all, not as long as camel face is around, but lets hope arafat drops dead real soon or better still, one of his own supplies him with a .223 aspirin (through the head) and for someone who truly cares for the arabs and is truly seeking peace to take the reins.
