Sharon is Israel's choice and Israel's responsibility.

The Palestinians ensured his election by restarting the intifadah after the failure of the peace talks. The more they gunned and bombed the lower Barak's poll numbers went. The Palestinians knew very well what they were doing; they knew very well that their acts of violence were ensuring Barak's defeat.

It was all very ironic because what started it was Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount. I wonder if it was Sharon's plan to go there and ignite Palestinian violence so that he could get elected. If so, he played both peoples like a fiddle. As for myself, I am still dumbfounded that the Israelis would reward Sharon for touching off the violence by electing him.
