Arafat In 'Final Hours' Posted by George W. Cordero on 11/10/2004, 5:28pm | ||
Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing a tone of near sentimental mourning for the pending death of this horrific creature? Here is a quote from a French government spokesman: "In his "final hours, I hope that we can respect the final hours of a man who is approaching death." Why? When I learned that Timothy Mc Veigh was about to die I was not overwhelmed with a feeling of showing "respect". This filthy parasite of a man is responsible for an enormous amount of human suffering and tragedy. His life is a testament to human malevolence. Its one thing for the Arab press to be sobbing and doing respectful eulogies, but the Western press should put this in its proper context. I do not mean by that that they should display glee or humor. What I do mean is that this is a proper time to reflect on the life of a horrendous man, and the ideology of envy and religious fanaticism that fueled his hatred. When Eichmann was on the gallows we reflected on the enormity of his crime, and how the world would have been so much better had he never lived. We reflected on his distorted and hate filled mind, and how we needed to grasp and face the immorality of Fascism in order to prevent future Eichmanns. This is the only proper form of respect or reflection that I can conceive of when thinking about Arafat’s death. Concurrently, there seems to be a tone of moral indignation that Israel will not allow this cockroach to be buried in Jerusalem. The disgusting irony in this is beyond my comprehension. I do have one solace however, I can think of nothing more appropriate than this man dying in France! George | ||
