Did anyone think that Sharon was elected because of his postion on education or health care or the environment?
I don't follow Israel politics that closely, but, it seemed to me that Sharon was elected to defend the country and that he would be willing to kill people if needed.
You are right... he was elected to defend the country... I believe the problem lies in the dove Labor Party... they tie his hands and only allow half-measures.
Sharon is very much a hawk!
