I saw Madeleine Albright on a minor talk show recently, I suppose she was promoting her book.  The interview seemed to center around Arafat, and I got the impression the book does as well.  She talked about how she, at one time, actually invited Arafat to her home, and he met her family.  I was astounded to hear this.  In my house Arafat is simply a terrorist, and a murderer.    The "father of a little Czech-American girl" in Miami tells of his close encounter with the former Sec. of State, and gets to ask her a very good question: "Madam Secretary, in light of all that has happened since the beginning of the current Intifada in 2000, do you regret having had a role in inviting Yasir Arafat to the White House?" 6:44:14 AM
