understand the reality of being an honest law abiding citizen. Especially one who is an elected official. It sounds as thought you are defending the way Olmert commiteed fraud. He lied to the people, his country, and to the police,to the non profits org. for sick children for crying outloud. That money was to benefit him, and not go into his pocket!. If that is they type of politicians you accept in your country fine. But here in Israel it is a whole different show. Yes we have had corrpupt leaders from Sharon on down. People start out good but for some reason the can't resist the temptation. Well guess what Rivkah, If I, an Israeli must uphold the law, then so do our politicians. The problem is they get away with it alot. But not this time Rivkah. If Sharon hadn't been caught up in a scandal we never would have had to watch our own being throw out of their homes. And for what? Just so the heat could be taken off of him. Well he certainly paid the price for his corruption and pig headedness didn't he? If you want to comprimise your countries laws fine, I personally don't care. But here in Israel the people are finally waking up to the sludge, filth, and corruption of our leaders and we are not going to take it any more. Enough of this already. And by the way, not ONCE did Olmerts wife go with him to promote diplomacy. Not once.

kingdoms of men and sets up over them the basest of men. God gives countries the leaders they deserve. Sins against God among the people results in judgment. In America, the US President voting machines are controlled by the mafia according to Hal Lindsey. So whoever wants to get elected has to cut a deal with the mafia. When New York Governor Spitzer attacked the mafia too diligently, he was attacked and exposed as an adulterer. That is probably what happened to Moshe Katsav and Ariel Sharon and now Ehud Olmert. They did not do what the mafia wanted them to do, so they are exposed or framed to destroy them to the people. No one is good but God. All have sinned. Mr. Olmert has not been tried and convicted of anything except in your mind. You don't care about the BIG things he probably refused to do that he is being attacked for. What sort of BIG things do leaders to to get the mafia to leave them alone? Well, President Bush invaded Afganistan when the Taliban banned opium as a crop. Now, Afganistan is back to being the top world producer of opium for the mafia. What you need to do is to pray for your leaders and all leaders to listen to the Lord and for the Lord to protect them if they do His will. President Bush would be murdered if he did what was right all the time. He averages 300 death threats a day from people. King Solomon said not to be too righteous or you will die before your time. The world is not perfect and people have faults and sometimes they do things to survive that are wrong. Even King David pretended to be insane to survive at one point.
