I found this story very interesting. It reports that a majority of Israelis want Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign because of the poor way the war against Hezbollah was planned and run. In short, many feel the war was a misadventure from the start and needlessly cost the lives of Israeli soldiers and innocent civilians in Lebanon. In fact, most think the war made matters worse for Israel, the Middle East and the world. In addition to the loss of life, Israel took a huge blow to their reputation and normally friendly countries now look at them with distrust and disrespect.
It will take decades or even generations for the damage to be undone. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it? Yep, I could be talking about George W. Bush and how his disaster in Iraq has so gravely hurt the United States.
But here's the difference - the people of Israel actually want to hold their leaders responsible for the mess they've caused!
