America's New Hero: Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu addressed a joint-meeting of Congress this afternoon and knocked the socks off America's Representatives and Senators. His speech was both eloquent and simple, yet very extensive and quite significant.

I did not have the pleasure of watching his address today, but I just read it, and I'm very impressed with the former Sayeret Matkal commander's unique ability to inspire both political parties with his infectious patriotism and principles.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has accomplished something that few foreign leaders can ever claim: awe and love from not only the assembled Congress, but from the American people, who usually reserve such affections for fellow citizens and not foreign diplomats.

Our deep love for Israel has never reached its current high; neither has our love for Israel's leader. I hope they appreciate their Prime Minister, because most of America is in envy of them right now for that very reason.

What say you?
