Great article about a great leader.

But....may I add 1 point that you've missed?

Netanyahu is a true patriot. When Ehud Olmert was Prime Minister, Netanyahu was leader of the opposition. When war broke out with Lebanon, Netanyahu went international arguing Israel's case, not opposing anything that Olmert and his government were doing. In other words, when there was a crisis, he fell into line behind the government that he opposed, to work with it to accomplish Israel's war aims. He stopped being a politician, and became and advocate for Israel's (and Olmert's) position. He was working for Israel, not for himself.

Interesting article about an amazing person. Incredibly smart capable leaders can transform a country and perhaps even the world.

The REALITY is that no matter how good someone is at doing what they do, there are those that bitch & moan for their own reasons.

In the United States, we saw this with Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan & now of course with Donald Trump.

Without such brilliant and transformative leaders countries collapse eventually.

We also have to understand that a lot of the opposition to these rare kinds of leaders is from those in opposition to the country.

I don't have to remind everyone some of the evil political, etc. forces that are out there!
