Another illustration of why victories over Arabs need to be decisive to even register. One must never underestimate the Arab capacity to turn defeat into victory -- in their own heads: An editorial in Al-Ahram, Egypt´s semi-official newspaper, noted the anniversary today of Egypt´s stunning victory in the 1973 October War: "Egypt marks today the 29th anniversary of October victory. The war was not only crossing the Suez Canal but also was the start of deciding the Arab-Israeli conflict. Out of the position of power, Egypt declared its peace initiative, launching political battle to establish just and comprehensive peace in the ME region. "Mistaken is Sharon if he thinks that antagonistic practices would kill the peace process, simply because just and comprehensive peace is quite related to the Arab alienable rights. It is too difficult for an Israeli ruler to swallow Arab territories and while enjoying peace and security at the same time. Thus came Al-Aqsa Intifada to defend the rights of the Palestinian people. "In his key-note address to the nation, President Mubarak warns Israel against the grave consequences of its antagonistic policies against the people of Palestine, as such policies would do nothing but fomenting inter-violence and ignite hatred of between coming generations." israelnationalnews.com
