One of many. But if you don't problems with people spewing nonsense based on nothing, then go for it.

He offers more than you. Not just links en masse. In the 80s, there was this stereotype that almost was a running joke in Germany, that americans watch so much TV that they do not take something for real anymore as loing as they haven'T seen it on TV. Today, some people seem to be like that with regard to the internet. If it's not on the web, it is not real. And if it is not a welcomed opinion, it isn't real, too.

I don't care. I call 'em as I see 'em. You're a sucker for anti-Israel smears. Ask yourself why.

One very far away day in my life I think I really must give this question some very deep and thorough examination. Til then, even if it surprises you, I prefer the lecture of guys like van Creveld or Herrfried Münkler.

Engage brain before posting. To quote you:

"But I have red some materials and even books by van Crefeld....."

Ooooooooooooh! A professor that can babble. They impress you, so it seems.

Look in the mirror. You just described yourself to a tee.

Regarding the former, you are what you eat. Regarding the latter, never heard of him. Very little seems to be available in English. Found this article, of no particularly exciting revelation.

Bah, it must be rubbish because I found it through a link.

Engage your own brain first, maybe. You made a link between van Creveld and a reference of mine, the latter of which I clearly indicated that I am even not sure if I red about that quote in one of van Creveld's books. I just said that I have read some stuff by van Creveld. so what book do you mean, and with regard to what? My initial reference? See the beginning of this paragraph.

Or better, read it yourself. You can learn from that man.

Ooooooooooooh! A professor that can babble. They impress you, so it seems.

Oooooooooooooh! A women that is no professor but still babbles nevertheless. I am not always impressed, or so it seems.

Look in the mirror. You just described yourself to a tee.

When I ask the mirror for links, it shows me your face. Weired.

Regarding the former, you are what you eat.

Same is true for you.

Regarding the latter, never heard of him. Very little seems to be available in English. Found this article, of no particularly exciting revelation.

English is not everything. Münkler is professor for politology in Berlin. He wrote a biography about Machiavelli which is considered to be an academic standard work on that man and his ideas, and some historic books on the politology of empires, and the developement of warfare in the past and the future, all of them hold extremely high credits in German-tongued academic circles. His book on the future of war is possibly the best I ever have read in English or German on that matter.

The Iranians have learned an important lesson: Causing fear is a weapon far more effective than any bomb could be, as long as people take you seriously.
And they are doing quite well with this strategy. Just look at how many ressources are put up against them, just because of WORDS.

It's a bit more than words as the victims of iranian made ieds and hezbollah rockets can attest.
