[b said:Quote[/b] ]Arafat crisscrossed the globe in his quest for diplomatic support in opening a dialogue with the United States and Israel. In 1988 he formally renounced terrorism, and the peace process was born.
By 1993 Arafat was ready to recognize Israel's right to exist. He signed a peace agreement with Israel which envisaged the gradual implementation of Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip over a five-year period - the foundations for a future independent Palestinian state.
i dont think so. Before he left he had gallstones and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Also he had the flu when he went to the hospital[b said:Quote[/b] ]think he was poisoned or killed in some other way
I'd scratch fidel castro off that list. The only majorly bad thing he has done was support the russians during te Cold War and he did that for Cuba. The money he recieved from the USSR went to his war on illiteracy, free universal health care etc. Castro is not a bad leader it is just his views differ with Amercan views so we label him evil. Not all communists are bad.[b said:Quote[/b] (TheAlphaWolf @ Nov. 11 2004,11:06)]one down...
fidel castro, osama, saddam, the lybia guy,the korean guy, etc.. to go
A reign of terror is never good for the people, no matter how many good things it has on its agenda. I have heard from people who met Castro in person that he's a monster. Obviously that's circumstantial, but there are an awful lot of people who agree with that assessment who lived under his government.[b said:Quote[/b] (ALLOSAURZ @ Nov. 11 2004,1:53)]I'd scratch fidel castro off that list.

We are fortunate here in the United States that we can express our opinions without fear of reprisal. However, standing on a corner of Calle Ocho in Miami making that statement would not be the smartest thing you could do.[b said:Quote[/b] ]Castro is not a bad leader it is just his views differ with Amercan views so we label him evil.

Yes, but people would have also shortened his name to Cyber-fat[b said:Quote[/b] (Fygee @ Nov. 11 2004,8:45)]I'm surprised they didn't replace his dying organs with robotic parts. He could've been Cyber-Arafat, savior of the PLO.
