In fact, I feel the same way about Bush. At least we have an opportunity for a change to Bush. The same cannot be said of Olmert. The differences between Israeli politicians are so subtle that only another Israeli can tell them apart. On one hand we have Olmert, leading a party which was supposed to withdraw from the west bank. Instead he greatly expanded the west bank colonies. On the other hand we have Barak who leads the party which would normally seek peace. Instead he pulls at the leash to invade Gaza and condemns peace talks before they begin. On the third hand we have Netanyahu, always ready to go on the offensive and take no nonsense from the Palestinians. Instead, he gave up Hebron. Any of these characters could have stood in for the others and done exactly the same things. Like the ice cream man said, "We have any flavor you want, as long as it`s vanilla".
