I am stunned that we have heard few voices from the Arab States. I ask my friend this, as he voted, as did all my colleagues in the Senate, for a resolution expressing our horror at the women suicide bombers. I wonder if the Senator is struck by this deafening silence and how he felt when Mrs. Arafat said if she had a son, in fact, it would be an honor for that son to die. It is a stunning statement.
