Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

*dancing a little jig*

It is really not the Christian thing for me to do, but when evil is defeated, it is justified, I believe. And, evil is what Arafat was.

Anyone who wants to dispute that he was a terrorist should read this:

Educated as an engineer in Egypt, Arafat served in the Egyptian army and then started a contracting firm in Kuwait. It was there that he founded the Fatah movement, which became the core of the PLO.
After the Arabs' humbling defeat by Israel in the six-day war of 1967, the PLO thrust itself on the world's front pages by sending its gunmen out to hijack airplanes, machine gun airports and seize Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics.
"As long as the world saw Palestinians as no more than refugees standing in line for U.N. rations, it was not likely to respect them. Now that the Palestinians carry rifles the situation has changed," Arafat explained.

Yeah, we really respect assholes who hijack airplanes, kidnap Olympic athletes and shoot down innocent people as they walk through the airport. Thumbs up, buddy. Good move.

I, for one, will dance a jig on this day. My sons even thrust their fists in the air when I told them that a very, very bad man died. I cautioned them, though, sometimes it isn't always positive when you get what you ask for. They don't understand that concept yet, but they will. I fear for what his replacement will be, yet I still pray for peace.
