I’d love to have that link.

Here is something else.

I read Tom Friedman’s column today, and though I usually find something to complain about in a Tom Friedman column, this one hit home. Because the scariest thing I have heard in my week and a half here in Israel was a comment by one Israeli that the current political climate in America reminded him of the climate in Israel in the months leading up to the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.

%$#@. So depressing. There are plenty of valid criticisms of the president, but the extreme right in the United States is just so ugly and angry. Our extreme left is pretty ugly, too, I guess, but they’re also unarmed. And as a secret service agent recently told a friend of mine, “People didn’t like Bush, sure, but they really want to kill this guy.”
