Get the ball rolling
Those of us who favor the renewal of the political process in our area welcome president Bush's short visit to our area.
Any visit of an American President to Israel can only be a source of joy and pride for us, but in this particular case the visit goes beyond bilateral relations.
The bonds between the US, a superpower, and the small, young State of Israel are without precedent in the history of international relations.
It is said that the then Secretary of State William Rogers told the late Lea Rabin that the special relations between the US and Israel only fall behind the very deep ties that bind America with Great Britain.
While this may have been true then, it seems that over the past decade US-Israel relations have surpassed them in closeness and intensity. Yet, as mentioned, the purpose of President Bush's visit this time is not the deepening of bilateral ties.
