Arafat in a Coma
Not to be too crass, but here's the deal.
Charles Krauthammer says Arafat's actual death will result in violence, because the Palestinians insist on burying him in a holy area of Jerusalem (are there non-holy areas?), and the Israelis will not permit this. They have a grave prepared in Gaza or somewhere.
A long, persistent coma might be in the best interests of peace.
It's not evil to wish such a fate on someone, especially a loathesome killer like Arafat, if such a fate will result in others living rather than dying.
