`Quartet' members disagree over U.S. position on Arafat

The EU is still a bunch of idiots.

The European Union has rejected the determination by Israel and the U.S. that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat is tainted by terrorism, and will continue meeting with Arafat as the elected leader of the Palestinian people, European sources said yesterday at the end of a London meeting of the international community's Quartet - envoys from the U.S. EU, UN, and Russia.

1. You guys don't seem to like the idea of elections for leaders of the EU.

2. Arafat was elected six years ago. Leaving aside the corrupt balloting, his term, by any measure, is up.

3. If you don't think Yasser is tainted by terrorism, you are so pig-ignorant there is no use talking to you.

Oh, but Yasser promised an EU representative he'd do all he could to end suicide bombing. We haven't heard that before, have we?
