Ariel Sharon
Sharon is sedated right now after 9 hours of surgery, after suffering a massive stroke. Recovery is unlikely, and even if he does he will never be able to take part in politics anymore.
What are your thoughts? Does Kadima, Israels youngest party still have a future without him? Is his successor (Olmert probably?) going to follow the same line as Sharon as party leader?
Discuss.

Re: Ariel Sharon
I doubt Kadima will have legs without Sharon's "dignitas" and "gravitas." Few Israelis have that kind of clout and the only one who strikes me as close, Netanyahu, does not seem to be the biggest fan of Kadima.
I wish him a complete recovery, however unlikely, or if his time is here a gentle passing.

Re: Ariel Sharon
Just when I actually started to kind of like the guy, he keels over. Hopefully he recovers, and if not, may he rest in peace.

Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said God nailed Sharon because he was giving land to the Palestinians. Robertson said in the Bible, the prophet Joel "makes it very clear that God has enmity against those who 'divide my land.'"

Re: Ariel Sharon
So is it okay to make fun of or mock those who just died, or suffered a great, crippling stroke?
As to the topic-I doun't know how agressive the politicians who'd take over are compared to Sharon. If his successor is percieved as weaker, it could spark another wave of palestinian suiciders. An aggressive one could say 'nuts' to the press and invade palestine, inflaming tensions.
