The founder and spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, died a very natural death today as his car ran over an Israeli rocket. Thus Israel has corrected the mistake it made by unleashing Yassin on unsuspecting public in 1997, when they released him from the correctional facility where he'd been serving his life sentence. Well, better late than never, I'd say.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians flooded the streets, threatening revenge. The thought has immediately crossed my mind that carpet-bombing the demonstrations and the funeral would kill a great deal of Hamas supporters without killing a lot of people who do not support Hamas, but I am a bad, bad woman and that's why nobody trusts me with any weapons bigger than a 9-millimeter.
Yasser Arafat, who absolutely does not support terrorism, declared a 3-day mourning for Yassin.
