I remember that war pretty well, was a sophomore in college at the time, remember the Egyptian army was encircled, then the world, or maybe the U.S. stepped in to save them and arrange a peace.

Yeah, the arabs were thrilled because the first several days went very well for them, before Israel recovered and knocked them on their butt really hard.

I was feeling a little depressed from all the suitcase nuke rumors that have been circulating the last few days. I take them seriously, even tho it is far from certain that Al Qaeda can use them, if they really have them.

I picked up one of Netanyahu's books the other day, but haven't started it yet.

Which Netanyahu book did you pick up?

Anyway, my brother and I went Christmas shopping. So, not only did I get The Arab Mind, but A Study of Revenge by Laurie Mylroie (I got tired of having to check it out of the library). This is a must read.

My brother got me Yossef Bodansky's new book about terror for Christmas I have his Target The West. It's about state sponsored terrorism. It's good. My brother also got me Bernard Lewis' book about the many identities of the Middle East. So, lot's of reading to do.

Let me know if it was A Durable Peace or Fighting Terrorism that you got by Benjamin Netanyahu. You can go to www.netanyahu.org for alot of Netanyahu's writing. He's so interesting.

I read they were degraded beyond usability.
