Serious thought, strategic planning, major efforts and extensive budget need to be allocated for this purpose.■ Which Israeli should have a movie made about him/her?Maj.-Gen. Zohar Dvir. A few years ago, while heading the Yamam, Zohar was called to identify the body of Dror Shushan, a Yamam officer who was killed in a tragic road accident. When he arrived at the scene of the crash, Zohar was hit and critically injured by a passing truck. It took Zohar over a year to make a full recovery. He is now head of the North District. His remarkable rehabilitation is a token of bravery, perseverance and human ability to attain the unattainable.■ What would you change about Israelis if you could?

You might even want to come back for more!■ What is the most serious problem facing the country?Political, ideological and religious divergences, internal within Israel and external with our Arab neighbors.
