Re. The Battle of Jenin:

Is it El Alamein? Quite possibly. It will certainly begin to put serious dents in the aura of invincibility that Arab terror was beginning to cloak itself in. I think the Afghan campaign also helped. Come to think of it we've seen this pattern many times before.

1. Arab bravado - "Mother of all Battles" "Lakes of Blood"
2. Street demonstrations designed to intimidate.
3. The left screaming about imperialism, hegemonism, body bags, quagmire etc etc.
4. Someone stands tall and begins the military strikes.
5. The left and Arabs scream about civilian casualties.
6. Superior firepower, organization, and training turn the tide - military victory.
7. Arabs claim victory because some survived the battle and live to fight another day.

What is NOT needed here is to stop before the job is done. When Arabs start to say "Allah has abandoned us," will we be closer to victory and safety. God, I hope Bush II doesn't make the same damned mistake his old man did. Sure, Bush wanted to do Iraq before anything else, but too bad, the battle is joined, the battle is here, the battle is in Israel now. Finish it. Let Sharon finish it.

I've yet to hear of any Arab armies mobilizing, have you?
