WASHINGTON - President Bush said Friday the death of Yasser Arafat provides "a great chance to establish a Palestinian state" and a broader Middle East peace.

At a joint White House news conference, Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair pledged their support for a fresh stab at Israeli-Palestinians peace negotiations.

"We'll hold their feet to the fire to make sure that democracy prevails," Bush said.

"We're going to work flat out to deliver this," Blair said.

The president said it was up to Palestinians to elect a democratic government and Arafat's successors to allow freedoms to take root.

Bush, whose policy in Iraq frayed relations with France, Germany and other traditional allies, also said he intends to travel to Europe as soon as possible after his second inaugural, on Jan. 20.

He said he looked forward to using the "combined strength of Europe and America" to advance freedom.

I'm not a Arafat fan, but this seems a bit ill-timed. They just put him in the ground today (after his people climbed all over his casket). It looks like they are dancing on his newly dug grave...

Bush: "We'll hold their feet to the fire to make sure that democracy prevails," What's next? "and then we'll brand 'em just like we do in Texas!" Who's feet is he going to hold? Sounds like he got confused and was giving his Iraq speech.

He is such an embarassment...

They both must have been sniffing coke or something

Arafat was a terrorist, a dictator and a criminal who kept his followers poor and dumb. You are not going to change that in 10 or 20 years!

If I would become president of Palestine, I would immediately would make peace with Israel, get all weapons and destroy them, kick all grown up asses that carried them and send them to build schools.

Then we have Day Zero, print in the newspapers and tell on radio and TV that weapons and other means to kill are prohibited with the punishment of immediate death penalty.

Any civilian carrying a gun or explosives would be hanged on the next tree or lantern post immediately.
That is my advise to American troops in Iraq also.

Nowhere in history, it was accepted that civilians carried weapons in wartime. So they got the death penalty.

The only point is, it is important to have independent witnesses.
Otherwise any soldier could press a gun in a man's hand.
In that way signing his death certificate.

Well... You are right, but you'd better tell that to the Palestinians..
Who in fact aren't a people at all.

The now dead mob leader Arafat was busy to start a civil war in Jordan in 1970, and King Hussein didn't like that.
Thousands of Palli's were killed in the process.
It even gave their ridiculous stupid terrorism a name..
Black September..
That month, more muslims were killed by their own brothers, than the Israeli's ever did. But if a Palli is kicked ass by other muslims, he will surely tell the whole world it was done by the jews!

Remember the uncle of Arafat did meet Adolph Hitler.
They were discussing how to solve the "Jew problem".
No wonder "Mein Kampf" is very popular in the muslim world.

No, I wasn't joking!

I might be a socialist, but I am not stupid
Remember, the hero's that built the state of Israel were socialists!

The stupid SOB Arafat and all the other Palli's could have had a bungalow with a swimming pool 30 years ago, but the fact is, a Palli allways takes the wrong turn of the road.

Stupid of Clinton and Madeleine Albright to go for the "piss process".

Arafat blew it all the way, and made Hamas do a few tricks, so that Barak lost the elections, and Sharon came charging in

Arafat should be remembered as the most stupid political jackass the world has ever seen!

Now the far right of Israel has the power, and there is no stop to war and violence. Thanks to Arafat!
