Syrians see Arafat more clearly than Carter

The quote is priceless (full story, though short, is here):

The Syrian Defense Minister called Arafat "the son of sixty thousand whores," but Jimmy Carter called him "a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate" for a Palestinian homeland. Well, great minds can differ. I wonder if Jimmy is getting a cut.

I know, it's hard to think that anyone feels this way about Arafat, considering the rock star praise and adulation that the MSM is heaping on him!
