    That one seems pretty loud for something executed by SAD or Mossad types, though even the monkey falls from the tree from time–to–time. I suppose those or similar organizations might have meant to send an unmistakable message. But my personal preference is the stiletto rather than the bludgeon whenever possible (figuratively as far as my own actions go, of course ).

    Not that loud. Took the guys head off but left his limbs and torso intact; little damage to vehicle, driver died in the hospital.

    It is like the old style Mafia, they were sending a message along with the attack.

    Bibi likes people to think, “That guy’s just waiting for an excuse to knock my front teeth out.” A useful survival strategy where he’s from (by which I mean Philadelphia).

    The Israeli message here is: we can’t pull-off an airstrike to take out your nuclear program, and we can’t convince the Americans to do it for us – so we are just going to provoke you into retaliation so the Americans will attack you.

    Americans will follow their own plans, as other countries do.

    It is a testimony based on a diary kept between 1946 and 2004 (in the USSR, Poland, France and the USA).

    The more people know about proletarian dictatorship the less likely will we experience is.
