Every Day

October war was a war for peace and it emphasized that Arabs can be unified under one flag when they feel that there is dangerous situation facing them. Arabs fought on October 6, 1973 basing on their self-confidence and their faith.

It is a chance to mention the important results of October war to get out of the Arab division, deficiency and rupture situations.

October war was able to destroy the Israeli legendary stating that the Israeli army can never be defeated. October war showed to the entire world that the Israeli soldier can be defeated as he is an ordinary soldier and not a superman as stated by the Israeli media after June war 1967.

The glorious war of October 6 proved also to the entire world that the Arab soldier generally and the Egyptian soldier particularly is the best soldier in the world. The Egyptian soldier is patient, courage and has the ability to work under hard conditions.

The good planning and preparation of October war 1973 proved undoubtedly that absolute superiority is an illusion legend that can be destroyed by sincere will and scientific training.

After October war, the International society knows that no party can impose freezing and fix fait accompli. October war proved that the Suez Canal and the Bar Lev Line are not obstacles in front of the Egyptians who have unlimited potentialities.

In my opinion the most important message delivered to the Israelis is that the Arab struggle must be settled fairly to guarantee its stability and security.

Finally the Arab nation is more confidence that brain invention is more important than fight will. October war proved that Egyptian antitank rockets ended the world military understanding that tanks are superior in land war, antiaircraft rockets ended the legendry of air superiority and torpedo boat canceled the value and influence of great destroyers in the sea.
