Stumbling Ahead

Dry Bones cartoon - Olmert Becomes Prime Minister of Israel
Our new Prime Minister does not impress any of us very much.
It feels, somehow, as if we've been dealt this mediocre hand and now we're going to see how it plays out.

The myth is that Israelis wanted a center of the road party.
Nonsense.
We wanted security, and for most of us that meant Sharon.
He was our top dog... And Kadima was just his tail.

So here we are, watching the debut of a new Prime Minister. The Prime Minister who wasn't meant to be.
So good luck to him and good luck to us and hold onto your seats! Here we go! I've got a hunch that this is going to be one wild ride!
