The Karin-A was a ship that Israeli commandos captured that had $20 million of weapons in it and had some very sophisticated weapons right off the shelf from Iran, including rocket launchers, rockets, not just mortars but rockets. The equivalents of our TOW missiles. I actually have some pictures because we reviewed not just the weapons, these were weapons that were seized in the West Bank up to this point; they were weapons that were literally seized during the military incursion. And that in a sense, just these weapons are success or proof of the right and the necessity of the incursion because the suicide belt we saw in the previous picture, that suicide belt was not made to be put in a museum. It literally was made to be used. And the capture of that one belt prevented that one belt from being used, and we do not know how many lives and how many tragedies, and literally the tragedies are each one is as painful as we can possibly imagine in terms of human condition.
