i know that most of the characters on west wing these days represent analogous 'real-life' people..

but i'm having a dickens of a time trying to place who's who.

obviously Farad is Arafat (boy, how bright do you have to be to get that?)

is there a site that sort of identifies the characters as the real life personalities they
are?

any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

by the way..what did you think of tonight's WW?

wow...i really felt the tension...
it's such a good show!!

Check out this site. It's got all the information you need.

Yes, there were real life parallels, but, apart from Farad/Arafat, the rest of the main characters on either side were amalgamations of various politicians.

I hated the episode. I hated the prosaic, platitudinous, can't-we-all-just-get-along tone, and I hated the heavy-handed way the Jed/Leo friendship was destroyed. The only good thing was Toby falling over.

Honestly, the first four seasons are something else.
