Fairly recent events have "outed" the PLO as a terrorist organization, to even the most ardent supporters of it. Personally, I still try to even comprehend how Arafat was ever taken seriously by the international community as a peace-seeking diplomat, instead of the terrorist he is known to be... Then again, it's probably the same thing that allows Saddam to be seen as a benevelent ruler instead of the ruthless tyrant he is...too bad it's just taking longer to come out in the wash... Really, how long does it take for the international community to wake up and smell the coffee?

Maybe we should be using bleach...

Hmmm....Bleach *is* toxic & can *dissolve* the lungs of someone who breathes in the fumes from burning it...Maybe it can be used as a cheap substitute for WMD warheads?...
