End Game or maybe not
As our very own Tom Scud has summarised, the UN 1701 fig leaves and the online world of whankers reaction, I have little to add at the moment, having spent part of this weekend trying to rebrown myself (as camoflage) and internalise the new recommends GIPS guidelines as I write a profile for a fund. However, I do have a question for the more asture observers out there. The Sixth War is one of the monickers on the Arab Sats (at the moment I can't recall if it's al Jazeerah or al Arabiyah, things tending to blend at the moment). Anyone want to breakout the war accounting there for me as I can't get Six wars - depending on how I break it up I get one more or less. Oddly this irritates me.

Actually that does it, doesn't it? Bloody hell.

Just out of pointless curiosity, which ones did you leave out or add?

Queerly enough 48 and I kept in thinking Leb land splitting 82 and the 90s.
Blindness.

Actually not so blind. The usual classification is a bit arbitrary. To me 82 always seemed a bit odd to include among the Arab Israeli wars. My perception has always been that once Sadat pulled Egypt out of the game, serious talk about Arab Israeli wars was put in stand by for the foreseeable future. Otherwise, why not include the intifadas, the bombing of Osirak (Baghdad), the bombing of Tunis, the 90s indeed, etc...
