Some will doubtless point to the recent Oslo Accord Declaration of Principles between the Rabin government and the PLO. Not for a moment should anyone be so naive as to think that a man with Arafat's dubious resume is now committed to the hallowed principles of peace which all Americans hold in such high esteem...
...realize Israel's necessity in dealing with Yasser--all those pestering Palestinians on its border. Of course they can't just get rid of them, so let them have their own little state.

The Arafat of today should not be let off the hook for the crimes he committed yesterday. As he gets up to speak he should feel the same lump in his throat which he has caused so many others to feel...
