Sharon's Stroke
What a difference a month makes. This stroke could not have come at a worse time. Sharon (for better or worse) was going to forge ahead on a peace plan even if he had to draw the lines himself. I cannot imagine what the majority of Isrealis are thinking. Sharon was able to transform himself from a right-wing hawk into a centrist working for peace. I cannot remember such a drastic transformation of a political figure in recent times.

I agree! I am not a big supporter of Sharon's abandoment of Gaza, but he was effectively working for peace. The big issue on the table now is the Iran Nuclear Threat. It will be interesting to see who his successor is and how the new PM deals with Iran.
