i dont understand why his death is such a big deal. he died, im glade he died. he never did any good. sure he almost achieved peace, but he failed.

So your reason for being glad that he died is that he attempted to achieve peace and failed? Great reasoning Please, let's hear some more insight into the matter.

I'll admit that I don't know too much about him, but still I can understand the potential problems when a leader dies. We've made it our business to wish for peace in the middle east. After Arafat is gone, who will take over? There are many issues that come up when a power change takes place. Anyway, I'll let someone who knows a lot more than me comment...
