When, in 1993, then-United States President Bill Clinton welcomed PLO chief Yasser Arafat onto the lawn of the White House and offered to help the arch-terrorist get his bloody hands on chunks of the Jews' historic homeland, the Commander in Chief was embracing the cold-blooded murder of an American diplomat.
