Since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, some small part of Yasir Arafat must have known how ridiculous it was for the world to extol such a notorious thug for his “contributions” to peace. And now, 48 years after founding the terrorist group Al Fatah and decades after organizing the execution of American and Belgian diplomats, the Achilles Lauro hijacking, the Munich Olympics massacre, and countless other bombings and murders, the infamous PLO leader is finally trying to set things right the only way he can: by dying.
Although not yet technically dead, sources say that Arafat has slipped into a vegetative state requiring ventilation machines to remain alive. His greatest contribution to peace is expected to follow shortly, when his heart weakens beyond repair and his lifeless flesh begins to rot away.
