"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I don't know what its purposes were, but the less guns(or at least 120 mm guns) in the world, the better if you ask me.

These things are great.

They appear to be mostly of Soviet design; who is transporting all of this?

Makes me confused. Anyone here ever contemplated the fact that it's not Arafat who ordered the weapons? That it might be some rogue Muslim terrorist group?

Arafat's just the sucker- he's the guy who doesn't really want war, but does want to pretend he has some kind of control over those who do- which means, naturally, that he looks like a two-faced snake trying to gang-******  the people of Israel and Palestine- which he isn't really, I don't think. I just worry what might happen when the militant Palestinians get sick of him dicking around and put someone in "power" who DOES wanna kill people, and makes no bones about it.

I just read it - thats quite alot of stuff. Funny thing is it reads like the Weapons part of the OFP manual  
Anti Tank missiles - if a ship load of them ever got through Israely (spelling?) tanks should stay a away from Pal' areas cos they might get a little 'bruised'... (by the way, thats not a threat - don't shoot cruise missiles at ME!)
