Funny you say that - Truman recognized Israel something like 10 minutes after they declared their nationhood.

I know what you mean - knowing what I know of Truman before he became President, I would not have expected him to drop the Bomb(s). Knowing what I knew of Olmert before the kidnappings, I would not have expected him to act as aggressively as he did after the kidnappings (for those criticizing him for not ramping things up - look at the 72 hours after the kidnappings - he erased a lot of doubts and showed he had a good grasp on the Israeli psyche).
