Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the letter by Shafeek Kubha titled "Arafat's peace-keeping endeavors overlooked.' It is hard for me to comprehend the use of words such as 'a freedom fighter, a liberator, and a man of integrity' to describe a man such as Yasser Arafat. Here are several examples ...
