Arun Venkatram (ID: 000000bb742b42b7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2019 Peace in the middle east. That is what this extension can achieve if consumed appropriately. It can solve sectarian conflicts, initiate peace dialogues, resolve territorial disputes, disarm terrorists (who'd do naughty things when looking at GIFs of cats?) and share love. Lots and lots and lots of love. Cat love.
