Wreaths for a terrorist

Al Hayat al Jadida reports that a Belgian parliamentary delegation visited Ramallah yesterday and laid a wreath at the grave of the syphilitic godfather of modern terrorism, Yasir Arafat.

They now join other illustrious people who have genuflected to the symbol of the murder of civilians worldwide, including Jimmy Carter, Mahmoud Abbas, Kofi Annan, Jack Straw, Vladimir Putin, Ban Ki-Moon, Gerry Adams (Sinn Fein head) and leaders of North Korea.

Those who refused to engage in this sick tribute to Arafat include Tony Blair (although he did visit he refused to lay a wreath), George Bush and Condi Rice.
