...would not be a repeat of 1967. Since then, the military balance has moved greatly in favor of Israel. Almost useless in stopping suicide bombers, downright clumsy in facing stone-throwing teenagers, the Israeli armed forces are much better at doing what they are trained and equipped to do: smash regular forces with superior firepower and skill. With some 400 first-line strike aircraft and a large inventory of guided weapons (Israel is a major producer and exporter), they have a combination of weapon loads and accuracy that would be devastating to Arab ground forces.

Many temperance activists wanted the vote, if only to enact prohibition; and suffragists applauded the temperance movement's attacks on taverns, in which axes were deployed to smash open kegs and let the beer drain away on the floor. The connection between the causes seemed obvious at the time: drunken men frittered away the family's paycheck and then went home to abuse their wives. The idea that women might have drinking problems would have seemed as outrageous...
