Israel "may" kill Yasser Arafat, USA "may" kill Jacques Chirac.

The state of Israel yesterday astounded the world by publicly announcing its intention to assassinate political enemy Yasser Arafat.
The declaration by the Israeli deputy prime minister was rapidly criticised by various Arab members of the United Nations, however not all reaction was hostile.

"Way to go. " President Bush told reporters. " I think that it’s kind of cool that they’re being honest about it instead of pretending they have problems with their missile guidance system’s they’re letting the world know right where they’re at. "

" Yasser knows his time has come, at least he can do whatever he needs to do before they bomb the bunker… Call his mom, get drunk, eat a good meal, hey, he even has time to convert to Christianity and get his soul saved…"

International commentators however identified a worrying new trend of openly declaring hostile acts of war and murder without democratic process or justification being necessary.

" It’s very similar to the US attack on Iraq. » Stephen Spoilburg of the Stockholm institute for peace told BIGfib. « No reason given, just hey world, this is what we’re gonna do… "

In similar acts confirming such worries France today announced that it would be " terminating " the Swedish prime minister following the country’s No Euro vote last week, The US announced that it "may" murder French president Jacques Chirac because he is "repeatedly annoying", and Mary Whittaker of Glasgow, Scotland said on Glasgow radio that she would willingly suffocate Celine Dion with a plastic bag "because she has such a dreadful voice."
