They will soon kill Arafat

I'll bet Yassir Arafat - for better or worse, THE

    Palestinian leader - will soon be murdered by a hot headed Israeli

    soldier. The Israeli government and George W. Bush are making impossible

    demands on him to TAKE CHARGE - while depriving him of all the apparatus

    of power, communications, freedom of movement. Also  Arafat is a sick

    old man who must have his medications. He could die by malicious neglect.

                 A soon to be dead Arafat will be a  rather formidable in

    contrast to  the present rather pathetic figure.

                 The American news media  fails to understand the psychology

    of a MASS MOVEMENT - which can be quite irrational and intractable.

               Arafat can no more control his lunatic fringe than George W.

    Bush can control the far right of the Republican Party. But he dare

    not disown them !
