#2 The Paleo mobs have also stoned and torched a number of cars in the area. Last week, I predicted that Arafat mourners would swarm some poor bastard's car just from force of habit. I was kidding, but damned if it isn't happening right before our eyes.

#3 No, no, no! The car swarm isn't supposed to start until after the body arrives. No souvenir body parts for you.

#4 I'm watching it live, it's as classy as you might imagine in Ramallah. Helicopter swarm...

(plus reports of two dead in a car bomb/explosion in Ramallah)

#5 Yasser even dead, continues the insanity! I have a real bad feeling about this for Mr. Abbas, in terms of Hamas trying to murder him. plus---> a terrorist march to Jerusalem & Israel being VERY hard pressed to stop all these killers as the whole world is watching.

Islam in action. Real peaceful right?

#6 I just saw a coffin swarm. The "security men" were standing on the thing. No great hope that this is going to be a new chance for peace.

#7 Eegad!
Insane screaming mob, berserk terrorists, grief-stricken LLLs, gyrating LLL media.
Kind of reminds me of the Paul Wellstone funeral.

#8 Yegads--I'm watching this on Fox now. Gun sex, coffin swarm, chanting mobs. Compare and contrast this with the dignity, ceremony and respect shown during Ronald Reagan's procession, the viewing in the Capitol rotunda, and the funeral.

Yeah, these people are definitely ready for their own country.

#9 What a bunch of savages. The paleos can't orchestrate a sane, orderly and respectful funeral, but they're ready for self-rule, boy!

#15 This gives new meaning to the phrase target-rich environment.

#16 well, I felt like dancing when i heard the news of Arafats death, but this is ridiculous.

#17 This *must* be the definition of a 'target rich environment'.....
