George Washington and Arafat Are The Same

Of course NOT! I'm getting sick of hearing people say that Arafat is like GW or that Washington was a terrorist. Check out this analysis at Conservative Truth:

George Washington led his armies against the British in accord with the rules of war of those days. We would regard those rules to be hopelessly simplistic and overly concerned with ‘honor’ and procedure today, but that ‘fault’ would still reflect well on the courage and character of the combatants. In contrast, Arafat and his thugs will not engage the Israeli army: instead they use deluded surrogates - brain-washed suicide bombers - to deliberately target and kill innocent non-combatants. Arafat is a murderer of women and children. It is true that innocent are sometimes killed by the retaliation of the Israelis, but the innocent are not the targets. George Washington was a man of honor, who would not think of attacking civilians in order to punish his opponent.
