Questions that come to mind:
To what extent are the police still under central control, and whose control exactly? Same questions for the army.


Police and Central Services are still under Mubarak's control. The Army has never really been aligned with the government. They're basically there to keep the citizens from being mowed down by the police. They've even chased a lot of the police away at times.

Nighttime video footage that I've seen, shows people bringing tea and food to the Army's lorries, and climbing inside the tanks with them to have dinner. When the people surrounded the NDP headquarters, the Army surrounded them to create an iron wall that the police couldn't penetrate. It's a really interesting situation. The Army doesn't want a military coup, they just want the citizens to be safe, and to give them the space to create their own destiny.

An Interview with Benny Morris

By ARI SHAVIT

"But in an astonishing recent Ha'aretz interview, after summarizing his new research, Morris proceeds to argue for the necessity of ethnic cleansing in 1948. He faults David Ben-Gurion for failing to expel all Arab Israelis, and hints that it may be necessary to finish the job in the future. Though he calls himself a left-wing Zionist, he invokes and praises the fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky in calling for an "iron wall" solution to the current crisis. Referring to Sharon's Security Wall, he says, "Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another." He calls the conflict between Israelis and Arabs a struggle between civilization and barbarism, and suggests an analogy frequently drawn by Palestinians, though from the other side of the Winchester: "Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians."

Most of what the enemies say is nonsense. For example, one of them says "mudamudamuda!", from Jojo ("Za Warudo!"), and the cloud says "Yum!". The flagpole says "bee!", like "beam".

When the player gets the mushrooms, he says "Yuck!". He mostly says things like "Ugh" or something similar... he also says "u-ho!", a line from that gay manga ("yaranaika").

Enemy: "Poo! hehehe"
Helmet Enemy: "Iron wall! Therefore, invincible!"
