The idea of a Jewish homeland acquired an intense emotional appeal; I myself became an ardent Zionist.

Then give Rummy the Medal of Freedom and install Bill O'Reilly as secretary of defense. Only problem, you might find yourself invading Vermont. And I'll replace Chertoff at Homeland Security. The man's done nothing to control the bear population.
