Hey Sam!
Guess what? I got a new video. One Day in September regarding the Munich massacre.
And I got a new book. The Arab Mind. Is it quite fascinating. I just started it.
Now picture this...Yom Kippur War. Egypt says that they were victorious. Why? Because they suckered punch Israel and for three days, it looked like Israel would be defeated. Now, the truth is by the end of the war... Israel could have marched on Cairo unimpeded and the same with Damascus. The Egyptian Third Army was trapped and could have been wiped out if the US hadn't made Israel stop.
Yet, to the Arabs, they triumphed over Israel. I've just got started... but, it is very fascinating.

Doesn't anyone want to talk to poor Smeagol?

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.
