And nothing of value was lost

I honestly kept forgetting that he was still alive. Happy to speak ill of the dead in this case, but it's not like he was up to particularly much in the last few years.

War criminals shouldn't ever get the chance to die in their sleep.

[sabotabby]

Agreed. Hence, I'm hardly in a celebratory mood.

[apperception.livejournal.com]

I thought he was getting better.

[sabotabby]

In the way that Lenin's corpse keeps getting better.

I'm mostly pissed about the waste of resources spent on keeping this piece of shit alive for 8 fucking years that could have been spent to help someone who needs it.

Same way I feel about Dick Cheney's "heart".

[sabotabby]

For real. I mean, it's hard to say that some people don't deserve to live and thus no resources should be spent on them, but neither of those guys deserve(d) to live.

He managed to actually negotiate lasting peace treaties toward the end. Doesn't erase Sabra and Shatila but I don't know if anyone else could have convinced Israelis to make Gaza into a Palestinian territory.

But that's really all I can say in his defense.

[sabotabby]

It's hard to say if that speaks well of him or just of all of the pressure that he was forced to cave to eventually.

Wow, I thought he'd been dead for years.

[sabotabby]

I totally kept forgetting that he was still alive. The subject would come up every few years and I'd be like, "Oh, right."

I'm a little happy he finally, finally had the decency to die already. It's but a tiny satisfaction, but one I vaguely feel all the same.

[sabotabby]

Well, yeah. I just would have been happier if he'd done it a long time ago.

[constintina.livejournal.com]

Oh, for sure.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

So, there was no site like this for Sharon?

[sabotabby]

Apparently not.

You're happy he's dead because the bastard evacuated settlements from Gaza, right?
