Sharon Reuven, one of the reservists camping out in front of the Prime Minister's office, believes that another war with Hizballah and its allies Syria and Iran is inevitable. "We want Olmert to resign immediately because tomorrow will be dangerous, and we'll need a strong leader to defend Israel," she says. But Israel's adversaries believe its leaders still haven...

After that vote, Sharon penned a note to Adler that hangs framed on his office wall: "Reuven, my good friend, I couldn't have done it without you."
