SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- His father was a Nazi soldier, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has long been interested in helping Jewish causes. That irony is central to his upcoming high-profile trip to the Middle East.Part of Schwarzenegger's trip is to help build a "museum of tolerance." And his actions have not been lost to some students at Sacramento's Shalom School.

"It's important for him to go because there needs to be a museum, and it's good for him to be at the groundbreaking," said Kate Wiggington, a fifth-grade student at Sacramento's Shalom School.

"We need to teach the next generation of people (about) what happened to the Jewish people so it won't happen again," said fifth-grade student Wyatt Brown.

Schwarzenegger's own motivation for the trip to Israel is believed to be deeply personal.

1. Taking direction from Bush

these days? Why can't he just stay in Sacramento and be the Governor? At this rate he will have the same amount of vacation days as Bush.
