...good this man has done. David Murray Durban, South Africa At no time did Arafat prepare the Palestinians for peace. He funded violent groups throughout the territories. Even in the optimistic early days after the signing of the Oslo accords, Arafat turned a blind eye when Palestinian terrorists bombed defenseless Israeli civilians. Apparently he believed that such terrorist acts would force more concessions from Israel. What Palestinians needed in Arafat was a leader like Nelson Mandela. What they got was a Robert Mugabe. Good riddance, and please, no more crocodile tears. George Reiss Paradise Valley, Arizona, U.S. There is nothing...

The world is a despicable place. The U.S. has illegally marched into Iraq while defenseless human beings are being slaughtered in Sudan. I don't care if you call it genocide, slaughter or a disaster?the Darfurian people need assistance. Fern Smith Johannesburg...
...their own when it comes to Kerry. He vows to continue a war in Iraq that many of them opposed. He's against gay marriage and says he will cut any new spending programs if necessary to balance the budget. He reminds voters he was an altar boy, shoots defenseless geese in Ohio and is very close to Bill Clinton's economic adviser, Robert Rubin, a man Wall Street loves. In foreign policy Kerry also strikes a traditionalist tone that is not out of place among old-school, Powell-style Republicans. He says he will go back...
