He was a murdering terrorist. I denounce him as such. Happy? I've never said anything to the contrary. Will you now admit you misconstrued what I was saying?

And trhe Manson family saw Charles manson as a leader, so what?

If they had their own country, we would have to devise our foreign policy accordingly.

He was a murderous terrorist and we should have refused to deal with him (as Bush eventually did., see it can be done!) and/or refuse to deal with his terrorist apparatus. If you would refuse the false legitimization of bon Laden as a leader (hypotehtically per my earleir questions) why do you confer the same on arafat?

Because I perceive it to be in the long-term interests of the United States to do so. Because I think the United States will be better off if there is peace in Israel and Palestine. Arafat, however flawed a vessel, was what there was to work with.
