Jonah Goldberg says
“I am generally sympathetic to the notion that you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. … None of this applies to Yasser Arafat in my opinion. He’s a bad man who’s been terrible for his people and if there’s any justice, when he dies he will receive 72 virgins who look exactly like [...]
