Thursday, October 28, 2004 Palestine and the Palestinians after Yasser ArafatAfter Arafat, Palestine will look pretty much as it does before Arafat, at least for a while. [more] by Moderator @ 05:31 PM CST [Link] Tuesday, October 26, 2004 Middle East alternative realities - no danger of a shortageWhatever would we do without the New York Times for amusement?

He also compared himself to Nelson Mandela.
