Today in Arafatistan

September 9, 2005 Posted by Scott at 6:11 AM

The Jerusalem Post reports: "Moussa Arafat's son released." The younger Arafat met with Daddy Abbas following his release and then celebrated in the beautiful traditional style of the family:

After meeting Abbas, Manhal Arafat was taken to his dead father's house. Gunmen outside fired in the air and kept reporters away.
Is there anyone in his right mind who seriously thinks that conferring statehood on the Palestinian Authority will be conducive to the peace or well-being of the area?
