For good or bad, the leader of a country represents the public face of that entire country, not just certain factions. He is the elected representative of the majority of voters who share a common interest and promote their same ideology, not the views of the loyal opposition.

Much to my own chagrin, unfortunately there's no denying that Bush was the figurehead who represented all of us as the iconic image America presented to the world while he was in office. Netanyahu is nonetheless the public personification of Israel while he remains its leader.
