Ariel Sharon is a quintessential soldier.
There is nothing in his record even vaguely similar to Dahlan's terrorist career. In his life, Sharon killed not a few enemies of his country... but only in combat. There is no innocent civilians' blood on his hands.
Though he took upon himself the responsibility for Sabra and Shatila, even his investigators recognised that he wasn't involved in the events directly. He held the office of the Minister of Defence, and thus had to fall on his sword.
The Communist International of liberal wankers tried to invent another "war crime" of Jenin, and to stick it on Sharon, but even Palis confessed recently that it was a military clash.
