  2. I don't pretend to understand it, but I'm kinda jazzed about the whole parliamentary form of government. There's something appealing about being able to throw the bums out at will, instead of having to endure their abuse until the next election.

    This was actually the stand-out paragraph of the article for me:

    "As for the US, the Obama administration's interest in courting Iran and the Arab world place Jerusalem on a collision course with Washington. Given the high priority the Obama administration has placed on appeasing Iran, its decision to end US sanctions against Syria, and its intense desire to establish a Palestinian state, it is fairly clear that Israel cannot expect to enjoy good relations with Washington in the coming years without adopting policies that would endanger its survival."

    Hope, indeed.
