Alistair Horne's Kissinger

You should all read Allistair Horne's Kissinger, 1973: The Crucial Year. I am referring to chapter 11 about the 1973 war. You read it and realize that Sadat and the Americans prevented the Arabs from winning a decisive victory against the Zionist usurping entity. There is an image of Moshe Dayan rambling about the end of the Third Temple. If Sa`d Shazli was really in charge, I may have been writing this post from unoccupied Jerusalem. Don't despair: this is a conflict that can only be measured in long term, historic terms. There shall be another round.
