Arafat Update
From WorldNetDaily:
Yasser Arafat told Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak yesterday he will accept Egyptian demands for Palestinian security reforms, but the PLO leader would not agree to step down or move to another Arab country as he was asked to, Palestinian sources tell WND.
However, Mubarak immediately responded that Arafat's reply is not sufficient.
Matt's Chat
This one is still developing, but I think I can finally say that we are getting some "domino effect" results in the Middle East. Governments are stating to realize that this President (and I mean President Bush) means business when it comes to Middle East peace and stability.Mark's Remarks
No, Matt, this has nothing to do with Bush, just as the fall of communism had NOTHING to do with Reagan. You see, this was all starting to happen anyway, despite all the evidence to the contrary, you see, because we can never, ever, ever give a Republican credit for PEACE initiatives, because then it would defy the profile of Republicans as hateful warmongerers who beat grandmas and steal kids' lunch money.
Wait, there I go again, channelling liberal intellientsia stupidity again. My bad.
This shows you that the tactics we are taking are working. We are getting Arab allies to come on board and force this situation toward peace. The world has long known that Arafat is a barrier to peace in Israel. Well except for Bill Clinton who called Arafat a great patriot and sincere man looking for peace (funny, Bill, the Marines killed in Beirut by Arafat's minions would not agree with your assessment).
Thank God we have a man like GWB in the White House.
