Yassir Arafat is dead. <br />And as is too often the case, <br />After a man's death, <br />He has no enemies. <br /> <br />We are told, <br />Now that Yassir the Great is gone, <br />That he was a great leader, <br />And a freedom fighter. <br /> <br />I must say, <br />If he was a freedom fighter, <br />Then so is every <br />Baby-killing suicide bomber <br />Who follows him. <br /> <br />What freedom is there, <br />In the reign of a terrorist? <br />America, don't be fooled- <br />Arafat was no great man. <br />We are terrorists' enemies: <br />Why, then, would we call them great? <br />He is dead, <br />But his legacy of terror lives on. <br /> <br />Do not forget the Munich Games, <br />The victory of the PLO. <br />Who cheered for Arafat then? <br />A murderer is still a murderer, <br />Thirty years later. <br /> <br />America, <br />When the media tells you <br />Arafat was great, <br />Laugh in their faces and say, <br />'So was Hussein.'<br /><br />James Grengs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/upon-yassir-arafat-s-death-letter-to-america/
