#2 I think Israel should go for it; why, us french are with our 5th republic in 200 years or so (and lemme see, two empires, one directorate, a couple parliamentary monarchies, a terrorist dictatorship, an occupation collaborationist governement, a reactionary/rightwing dictatorship, and probably a couple or more insurrectionary and/or provisional governement, JFM will be more savvy).
