I can assure you that no one here in Israel is really worried about the Olmert victory at least as regards more unilateral Israeli pullouts. Yes there may be a problem with a Left wing socialist cabinet taxing and spending, but no one expects Olmert to be able to either manage his government or even remain in power for more than a year. Olmert is absolutely clueless, he has no policy, he has no ideology, and he himself has no idea what he represents, indeed, most of his Kadima party is just a number of selfish and greedy Israelis who are in it for what they personally can get and let the devil take the country. Of course, this will be a tough year for us, but we have been through worse, just look at the Ehud Barak term of office!
