A sad end to a great man's political career. Ariel Sharon was a Zionist through and through. He fought for the creation of Israel, in each and every one of our wars, and politically earned the respect and admiration of a majority of Israelis even as he was villified here on Free Republic. His actions were always guided by what he believed would make Israel safe and secure. He is a hero in every sense of the word.
Israel could you use his wisdom and leadership now in the face of the potential nuclear threat from Iran. God rest his soul.
I wonder when the decision will be made to pull the plug. Too bad it has to end this way - Israel needs more people like him.
