And the US hasn't killed Arafat because...?
So, it appears that Arafat personally helped set up an assassination attempt on Colin Powell when he was in town in April 2002.
Real cute. So why don't WE whack this sumbitch ourselves? Dubya and Colin Powell have pulled Sharon off his dumb ass how many times? This is how he wants to pay us back. Besides anything else, US killing Arafat would seem like the least we could do to thank the Israelis for thwarting this attempt. Let US take the bad publicity hit for taking out this worthless bastard.
We are engaged in a war against terror, right? Who is more deeply engaged in terror that Arafat? Israelis and other unfortunates aside, numerous Americans have been killed even just in the last two years by him and his affiliates.
What exactly would Arafat have to do for us to kill him? According to The High Price of Peace, "During a meeting with [special negotiator Gen. Anthony] Zinni, Arafat made a special request - a personal favor. A police officer from a very important family in Gaza had just been killed at Arafat's compound. It was imperative to get the body to Gaza for proper burial, Arafat pleaded." From there, they went on to load an ambulance with bombs and a separate bomb jacket for one of the drivers to wear to get a second bite at the apple as they approached Powell's motorcade.
Obviously we need to verify the truth value of this report before we go off killing someone, but this should be fairly simple and direct, considering that it involved Arafat personally doing the setup with a high official [Zinni]. Check and double-check our facts before we attack this symbolically important person.
The facts of the case being settled then, what reasonable argument would there be for the US NOT killing this evil bastard? Setting aside for the moment all the wickedness he's perpetrated against Israelis, he's directly and personally involved in trying to assassinate our high official.
What, are we going to anger the Palestenians or Muslims or Arabs? Screw them. You can get mad all you like, but you start killing Americans- especially our high officials- and your head's going to be on the block. All ideas of vengeance or justice aside, practically it does not behoove us to have evil people thinking otherwise.
