[Alouette]

My daughter and her family had to flee from Safed last year.

What do you have to say for yourself, anotherview? You were such a big supporter of Ol' Merde and Kadima.

I just hear on Fox news Alouette so everybody is safe?

I, too, had family that had to flee from the north or stay in shelters. I will say what I have said repeatedly since the second Lebanon war: I was wrong about Olmert. He is a weak leader if one can call him a leader at all. He is a disaster. Satisfied?

Kadima is another matter. All three of the largest parties are now led by failed Prime Ministers. We don’t need a repeat of Barak (Labour) or Bibi (Likud) and we certainly don’t need more of Olmert. I still think our best likely new leaders are in Kadima. Even you said Tzipi Livni would be an interesting choice and I agree. Shaul Mofaz would perhaps be even better with his military background.

At least Barak as Defense Minister knows what he is doing better than Peretz. Since we are stuck with this government for now let us hope and pray for them to act with wisdom.
