#1 I don't know diplomatic protocol, but she could have at least spit on it.

#2 Obviously she didn't have to pee at the time......

#3 She must be the ultimate diplomat to ignore Arafat's grave - what with the smell and everything.

#4 Ed, you made me laugh.

#5 Unlike a long line of other leaders who paid some kind of homage to Arafat's grave at the entrance to the Mukata, when visiting PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), Rice's car simply pulled into the compound, passed the grave and Rice got out and walked into the building.

"Excellent."

#7 I HAVE NEVER BEEN PROUDER TO BE AN AMERICAN AT THIS POINT! Good call Doctor Rice, Arafat was a long-time terrorist and obstruction to any thing called peace. I agree with Ed that a small gesture (raised middle finger, spitting, or defecation) might have done a lot to bring closure to that chapter of U.S.-Arab relations.

#9 Flipping it the bird, spitting on it, etc., would have given Arafart some recognition. Negative recognition, but recognition nonetheless.
Better to have ignored it completely as Dr Rice did. She made a statement without doing a thing.

#11 Dr. Rice did the right thing. Move forward, no recognition to the Arafish, who did nothing but make Paleo lives miserable and steal their money in the bargain. She is taking the high ground.

While we are discussing Dr. Rice, her approach to France and Germany is good also. Hey, we have some good things going on in Iraq. Come and be part of a good thing. What are they going to say? But NEVER NEVER allow them to profit on our backs. We do not have to advertize this. Make nice window dressing with the EU on Iran. We still make plans for the bad scenario.

#12 Anyone know if Condie is single?

Just for kidding of course.

#13 JFM-That alone, for a woman of her age, must be sending the Islamofolks over the edge.

#14 Arafat never was anything but a terrorist and a thug, and Rice gave him exactly the respect and remembrance he deserved. Kudos.

#16 I'm extremely pleased that she ignored the swine - and deeply annoyed that Blair gave even the tiniest nod to the memory of that bastard.

Good graphic btw!
