arafat (What he's been reduced to. Not a leader but a criminal. Look at the fear in his eyes 'arafat').

Okay. Rewrite. Maybe not 'fear' in his eyes, but intensity, apprehension. Yeah fear. Even though 'he's not surrendering'.

I am coming to the opinion (and I admit I am unable to give good evidence for it) that Arafat has become a figurehead. This is scary - so much seems to be based on the assumption that Arafat is in control. If he isn't, who is? Hamas? Nobody? A coalition? So now Arafat is holed up with a .45 in a windowless office, raving about hoping to be a martyr. Well, what else is left for him to do? It seems that anyone who seriously tries for peace is killed by extremists from their own side. The whole situation just keeps deteriorating.

Reference this MetaTalk thread for why I think this post sucks.

It's a good photo though, ol' Yasser looks like an alien. This post is like a stillborn child. It had potential, but now it is nothing.

In Hebrew 'arfad' means vampire. Close enough.
