Arafag is Dead...FINALLY!

It's 11:06 PM on Wednesday, and this is how the NYTIMES frames the death of Arafat:

NEWS ALERT - Yasir Arafat, Leader of Palestinian Nationalism, Dies.

For almost 40 years, Yasir Arafat symbolized his people's longing for a distinct political identity and independent state.

Sorry, but I never really saw it that way.

I would have mentioned the part that he's been trying to kill Israelis and Jews for 40 years, and is the world's most famous terrorist.
