It may leave the regime "unchanged", but even if it doesn't the best we can hope for is Bibi, a.k.a. "Mr. Hebron Agreement, Mr. Wye Agreement, Mr. I-stayed-the-gov't-until-the-last-second-before-the-Expulsion".
But that is not the point. The real point is that Olmert has to go because he has to go. Maybe we will get someone better, maybe not. Maybe some future political hacks will learn that it is not a good idea to scramble to the top if they are not qualified for the job, maybe not. All that is secondary to doing the right thing, and doing the right thing means sending Olmert packing. I won't name names, but this principal holds for plenty of other leaders as well.
Yes, you are absolutely right. I hope I am wrong and that Olmert falls as well as the entire government. Even if it changes nothing, it is important for this chutzpa to be excised.
If the Israeli people don't rise up, go into the streets and sweep aside the obvious scoundrels running the country then the the regime will NOT be "essentially unchanged," it will be made stronger, knowing they are lions leading sheep.
True. But it is likely that any change will be cosmetic, leaving the cast of Kadima cronies intact with their Labor enablers.
