Someone – still anonymous – sold on eBay a "bloody bandage" from Ariel Sharon's head. It was a relic from Israel's 1973 Yom Kippur War with several Arab states.

A resupplied Israeli army, led by masterful and courageous military leaders such as tank commander Brigadier General Sharon, were able to turn the tables on the invading armies. Soon Israel was advancing on the Arabs, and their armies were driven deep into Syria and Egypt.

As a result of the war, Sharon became a veritable hero and a self-professed hawk in Israeli politics for decades to follow.

Nearly two decades later, concession after concession by the Israelis have yielded no peace for Israel – only waves of suicide bombers, many of whom are children and women.

And Netanyahu will undoubtedly be proven right again when he warned that the turnover of Gaza and removal of its Israeli settlements would not bring peace.

I took excerpts to get an overview of the article. It's long and very well written.

Sharon will be proven incompetent when the Palestinians start attacking again.
