Visiting here for the past 3 weeks has left me, as I expected it would, in awe and confused. While these may seem to be two sides of the pendulum, they are not completely inconsistent with one another. I am indeed confused at my level of awe and in awe at my degree of confusion.<br /><br />Perhaps by way of disclaimer I should mention that I have a love/hate relationship with Israel and that I conclude my visit no less emotionally conflicted than I was when I arrived. I am a Zionist. I have tremendous respect and admiration for the people of Israel and their collective accomplishments. When I lived here I was proud to count those accomplishments as my own. Now, living abroad, I leave the credit for those who pay the high taxes, wrestle with the stifling business regulations, and calculate the daily terror risks. Deep inside, part of me calls for rejoining the drama, and I suspect someday I probably will.</p>
