Is Olmert Reading This?

From Ari Shavit:-

...If you do not want the length of your term to equal the length of [Ehud] Barak's term, you must learn to listen to criticism, draw lessons and reach conclusions.

For your own good, and ours, you must change.

Behave more modestly, Mr. Prime Minister. Be not in haste. Do not go out for grand measures.

Converge your convergence plan into reasonable and sane proportions. Give it the political dimensions it lacks. Be very careful on your trips to Washington. Do not give George Bush everything before you've received anything. Do not commit to a unilateral withdrawal prior to the toppling of Hamas. Conduct negotiations with the international community centered on Israeli demands, not Israeli concessions...

Ehud Olmert...You are the not-Ben-Gurion tasked with a Ben-Gurion mission. So on this morning every thinking Israeli must hope for your success. Every thinking Israeli must pray that you find your way. Go forth in strength, Mr. Prime Minister.
