Every time Nancy Pelosi uses Ehud Manor’s poem, I am filled with that amazing sense of desperate patriotism – for Israel and for the United States – that I cannot overcome.  The awareness that there is much to be wary of, much work to be done, and yet so much to love.  Even though my land may be terribly flawed, I have a duty to be faithful to it, and do everything in my power to make it better.
