So there is turmoil fear[ed] as Arafat leaves for urgent treatment. Turns out, the poor old dude has an extremely rare disease which only strikes certain elderly and influential men.

The disease is called "fuckthisshititis", and tends to manifest itself near the end of a long and troubled career as a business or political leader.

There is an excellent hospital in Paris which specializes in treating such men called "L'Hopital d'Exile". There, doctors funded by the Duvalier Family Endowment and the Sihanook Trust ensure that such gentlemen die in peace and opulence, untroubled by events in their place of origin.
