when ever he wants? Every democracy I know has pre-set term lengths. Regardless of what happens, the leader is responsible during that term. This is insanity. Who can live here?

Any country that has a parliamentary system combined with the ludicrous idea of proportional representation for apportioning seats can have this happen. At least this time it's the leader and not some party of miniscule importance with five seats pulling out of the coalition and triggering an election. Proportional representation creates only chaos and should be banished from the earth!

The contenders: Olmert accused of criminal behavior, failed former P.M.: Livni, former dog catcher in Tel Aviv, Mofaz, failed general and defense minister, responsible for the withdrawal from the philadelphia corridor, prepared the army for the disasterous 2006 lebanon campaign, shelly media personality, no real experience, lapid, beside the jell in his hair has never accomplished anything in his entire life.

.. or does your silence on the matter say it all?...

Betrayed his wife, apparently true, just like Clinton. Stole presents, you are confused, that was Rabin. Never pays his way? What does that mean Netanyahu has good and bad accomplishments: Good: saving Israeli economy twice after Leftist regimes ending First Oslo War with Israeli victory Bad giving Fatah northern Samaria supporting destruction of Gush Katif agreeing to building freeze for nothing in return

Netanyahu's accomplishments, selected Fisher as the head of the Bank of Israel, restored economic confidence saved the economy. Failed to repudiate Oslo, failed to attack Iran and destroy their nuclear weapons program, weak on national defense and security. Weak in his support of the giborai Israel in Judea and Samaria. However compared to the competition Bibi is a gibor Israel.

1 What does Clinton have to do with Bibi? 2 Bibi not only stole presents he refused to pay the man who hid them for he and his wife 3 Bibi is a reknowned bill ducker in any restaurant, barber shop, or service provider you just won't admit it Northern Samaria is theirs not ours Gush Katif was a cancer in our side What building freeze? Another Frightwing lie. Sure he said it, sure the settlers complained sure they continued expanding.
