Ehud Olmert, first civilian to be elected since Golda Meir. More civilians have been president however.

True and actually, they were denied that election by all the western world and israel despite the fact that it had been recognized as highly legitimate by all international observers. Moreover, the level of participation would put all of our democracies to shame but after all this is not Democracy. Democracy can only come from people highly civilized like we are. Isn't it possible then that Hamas was pushed back to terrorism? Actually, I might have to review my position on one thing, i may have to help Hamas instead of Fatah.
