Maybe ...
This figurine was made of ivory, though.

President Bush, Tony Blair and a host of other dignitaries are in
Jerusalem today to celebrate Israel's 60th birthday. Meanwhile, their
host, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, faces potential indictment over
bribery allegations. We take no view of the substance of the claims,
except to say that the very possibility that they could be brought is
itself a tribute to the state Israelis have built.
Israel used to be the only democracy in the Middle East. That's no
longer true, as democratic institutions take root in Turkey and Iraq.
But Israel remains especially admirable in its insistence that elected
leaders be answerable to the law as well as the public. Even in
France, former President Jacques Chirac remained beyond the reach of
investigators looking into similar bribery allegations while he
remained in high office. =85
