The UN's major powers, including the US, Russians, French and the UK all knew of the attack several days in advance, but, in the spirit of fair play, let Israel discover it when Egyptian and Syrian tanks began rolling over Israel's border cities.

That sounds a little far-fetched. If the "major powers" knew about an impending attack, I really doubt that Israel was totally unaware of forces gathered on its border.

Congratulations!
You are perfect UN material.

You have a doctorate in geopolitics?
You have absolute mastery of Macchiaveli, Sun Tzu and Clausewitz?

Freepers are so cool!
