	October 1973 War & Lessons for the Arabs
		Gulf War 1991 was more of a Coalition war - where one of the biggest coalition was hooked up in a very short time - and an effort was made by the Allies to crush Iraq with air attacks and massive armour outflanking moves.
		In the October War and in spite of the unfavourable part of it, Sadat seemed to have stuck to his aim and eventually achieved a political solution to the conflict.
		This short presentation brings out some of the more important facets of the October war especially in relation to the Egyptian armed forces as they bore the brunt of the war, and it was because of their planning that the war was conducted and fought successfully.

	Iran: war by October? \| openDemocracy
		The one that has attracted most attention was the desire of figures on the political side to keep the "nuclear option" on the table, even in the face of reported opposition from some military planners (see "The Iran plans", New Yorker, 17 April 2006).
		In Iraq, violence is escalating as much of the country slips towards civil war; in Afghanistan, insecurity is rising as the fifth anniversary of the termination of the Taliban regime approaches.

	Détente and Confrontation: The 1973 Israeli-Arab October War
		This paper examines the 1973 October War in light of the tension exerted upon the two superpowers to preserve détente without sacrificing their regional influence.
		Soviet behavior during the October 1973, as Quandt stated, "was neither a model of the new politics of détente, nor conduct aggressively aimed at exploiting a regional crisis to the maximum" (Quandt V).
		The October war of 1973 showed the limitations of détente to inaugurate a new era of negotiations and peaceful coexistence.

		War in our time and in this context is indiscriminate, a war against innocents and against children." Judging from the crowd, and from the buzz in the room, that pretty much summed things up.
		Ritter was careful to note that there are no good wars - as a veteran, he described war as purely awful and something not to be trivialized - but that there is such a thing as a just war.
		The basis for the coming October war is the continued existence of a weapons program that threatens America.

	Yom Kippur War- Milchement Yom Kippur - October War
		The date of October 6, 1973 was chosen to begin the war, supposedly because on that evening the moon would shine from sunset to midnight, thereafter giving total darkness to allow the Egyptians to hid their canal-crossing bridges, and because October 6 promised a minimal difference between high and low tide, facilitating the bridge building.
		On the morning of October 7, the Israel Air Force was supposed to launch a massive air attack on the Egyptian antiaircraft missile network, which would solve the air-cover problem.
		The battle of October 14 was a disaster for Egypt, and proved to be turning point of the war.

	::The Yom Kippur War of 1973::
		The Yom Kippur War of 1973, the most recent ‘full’ war in Middle East history, is so-called because it began on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the holiest day of prayer and fasting in the Jewish calendar.
		In October 1973, Sadat had adopted a warlike approach to Arab relations with Israel — he was seen by many Arabs to be the spiritual successor to Nasser and the saviour to the Palestinians in Israel.
		The war also served as a salutary lesson to the Arab nations that surrounded Israel in that initial victories had to be built on.

	The 1973 October War: The Egyptian Perspective
		First, the preparations for the 1973 October War provide a real-life example of the value in learning from one’s "mistakes."

		At precisely 1400L on 6 October both the east bank of the Suez Canal and the Golan Heights were attacked with an immense artillery barrage, followed by combined arms advances.
		Prior to the 1973 October War, Egypt's stated objectives with regard to Israel were completely out of step with the military capabilities which it (or its Arab allies) possessed.

		Whereas the June 1967 War had given Israel in general and the declining Labor Party in particular a badly needed morale booster, the events of October 1973 shook the country's self-confidence and cast a shadow over the competence of the Labor elite.
		The war set off a spiraling regional arms race in which Israel was hard pressed to match the Arab states, which were enriched by skyrocketing world oil prices.
