PLO Arab terrorist leader Yasser Afatrat is no one dimensional villain. He has many dimensions.
There’s his courageous side:
(It takes guts to roll your boogers in public)
There’s his cultural side:
“To be or not to be…that is the question.”
There’s his charming side:
“Has anyone ever told you how much you look like my wife Suha?”
There’s his insane side:
“Yes..yes..Mr Shadow ..your wish is my command.”
There’s his melancholy side:
“I hate Mondays.”
There’s his energetic side:
“Quick..someone call 9-11. I think I have a slipped disc.”
There’s his mischievous side:
“I know how I can wake the Indian minister! I’ll just pull my finger and…”
There’s his contemplative side:
“How about this pose, Mr AP photographer?”
And his French side:
“I am committed to the destruction of Israel. You know that sh*tty littlecountry with the loutish Prime Minister.”
There’s his tough side:
“Go ahead. Make my day!”
And then there’s his sensitive side:
“I can’t believe little Judenrhein is dead. He was such a good gerbil, and quite feisty.”
