Yeah, but there's something ... I dunno.
It's the way my brain works. My subconscious hits upon something, and then it takes a while for my conscious brain to catch up.
I was watching the news, and they were talking about Israel ... and then, for some reason, I found myself going to the bookshelf and grabbing a book about the history of privateerism. That's the tactic used (during the colonial period of Europe, come to think of it) by Europe and America during various little wars, where they would basically draft pirates and send them out to ... well, pirate. Basically, they could use these privateers to screw with other countries, but since the privateers were criminals, the nation that had sent them wouldn't get into any trouble on certain levels.
I still can't put my finger on it.
