Sharon muzzles ministers on London blasts

Israel's Ariel Sharon has imposed a gag order on his cabinet over the London bombings to avoid offending British sensibilities with comparisons to his country's fight against Palestinian militants, officials said.

The prime minister muzzled his normally talkative cabinet after Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom seemed to equate Thursday's deadly attacks with suicide bombings against Israeli civilians, comments that Israeli commentators said were ill-timed.

It would appear that the old General has turned into a new-age, sensitive pussy cat. The psychological conversion of such generals as Powell, Eisenhower and Abu Omri should make a fascinating subject for a doctoral student of psychology.

I believe the more fascinating study would be in pathology; a flat EKG and irreversible coma. The Prime Minister's ranch is downrange of the barbarians' rockets.
