Yasser Arafat Death Watch

"Strokes are generally sudden affairs, and Arafat's was almost certainly a secondary result of his underlying and undisclosed illness. At the time of his medical evacuation to Paris two weeks ago, aides revealed that he was suffering from a low platelet count and had undergone a platelet transfusion....But low platelet counts in the blood are a common finding in a wide range of illnesses, including severe infections, liver disease, end-stage cancer, and even AIDS." - International Herald Tribune.

Yes but no Arab leader would be ashamed to admit that they died of liver disease.

The Yassir Arafat Funeral Dirge
(sung to the tune of "YMCA")

Young men!
If you're feeling alone, we need young men!
To keep our leader cool, there's a place where!
You'll never be alone
In the love nest of Ramallah...
Young men!
Come and join in the fun in Ramallah!
There's a party, get down and praise *****!
There are no girls around
where the faithful get a mouthful...

Why don't you go to the
AU-THO-RI-TY!
The Palestinian AU-THO-RI-TY!
They have everything
For our leader's boys
Just as long you are his toys!

Why don't you go to the
AU-THO-RI-TY!
The Palestinian AU-THO-RI-TY!
He's not looking too well!
But his party is swell!
Better pray he won't go to hell...

Young man!
I was once in your band
I thought I did! not belong in this land
I thought no one! could love someone like me
It was tough to be an Arab
That's when, someone walked up to me
and said young man! There's a place down the street
At the PA! You can join in the gang
And you'll never be unhappy...

Why don't you go to the
AU-THO-RI-TY!
The Palestinian AU-THO-RI-TY!
They have everything
For our leader's boys
Don't you know that you are his choice!

Why don't you go to the
AU-THO-RI-TY!
The Palestinian AU-THO-RI-TY!
Soon he'll be on his way!
To be lying in state!
But he'll always be good to you!
Why don't you go to the
AU-THO-RI-TY!
The Palestinian AU-THO-RI-TY...
