I wish him many yrs ahead. he still deserves it for all he did.
I'd like to get into the head of such a right-wing militant as of his natur, and to understand truly what made him see the situation w new eyes?
The answers can be:
- US arm-twisting (a very real possibility, one that shows the extent to which we, like anyone else, is likable to be "influenced" by it);
- An evolution of ideas to the left (I find this hard to believe, but everything is possible);
- A contorted policy that hopes to go thru the valley of death in order to find life, namely "Give to show it's futile, and then, regain all back" (this is the answer for which I vote).

Sharon's condition update
At 7:38 AM EST the Jerusalem Post is reporting that the PM will remain in an induced coma for 24 hours.
The Jerusalem Post boasts a 2 and a half minute news feed from (Israel's) Channel 2 in English. It doesn't appear to be up to date, so the original link to this broadcast didn't mean what I thought it did when it called it a "feed."
To the best of my knowledge Mere Rhetoric is doing the best job of keeping up with the latest. Israelly Cool! has a timeline too, but not as extensive. SerAndEz captures some of the early news. IRIS was the first to figure out that the blood thinners were the likely culprits for PM Sharon's "significant" stroke. Bloghead captured one line that captures the mood in Israel. Not a fish offers her conflicted thoughts. Israel Perspectives offers offers his too. Shark Blog has an analysis.
As usual Kesher Talk has a wealth of links, including PM Sharon's name: Ariel ben Devorah and the list of Tehilim (Psalms) to recite according to Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger: [6, 20, 130, 121, 142]
(There is a Jewish custom to say chapters of Tehillim at a time of trouble or to ask for someone's recovery. The theme of these chapters is calling on God out of distress: this theme is most explicitly expressed in 130.)
