1. Good, he may live to see a war crimes trial.

2. What about our own war criminals, Bush and Clinton?

Yep, Big Dog's Plan Colombia and the admission by the UK government of rendition flights requested by the Clinton Administration also qualifies as crimes under international law.

4. Even a relatively small event in the Clinton administration led

to the death of thousands. A pharmaceutical factory was destroyed in Sudan. It was making necessary medicines for livestock and people. It supposedly was making chemical weapons, but even the Clinton administration later admitted the intelligence was bad. Nothing was done to replace the medicine lost, thousands died.

Do i even need to talk about the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis while Clinton continued Iraqi sanctions?

Bust them all.

7. The thread isn't about Bush or Clinton.

And, looking at the extraneous post below, it isn't even about Arafat.

It is about Sharon.

3. Yes...

...hopefully he doesn't use death as an excuse to avoid a war crimes trial like Arafat did. :sarcasm:

As physicians at Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem in Jerusalem weighed whether to release Ariel Sharon on Monday, the prime minister underwent a new series of tests, including a CAT scan and MRI, to determine the effects of the stroke he suffered Sunday evening.

Sharon was rushed to the medical center's trauma unit Sunday after suffering the stroke and briefly losing consciousness.

A senior aide to Sharon said after visiting him Monday morning that the prime minister's condition had improved overnight, and that there were no external signs of stroke. Doctors were to make an additional statement on Sharon's at 2 P.M.

"In examinations this morning he looked good and felt good," said Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon. "As his doctors informed us, his condition improved overnight.

"He's walking about the room, he's walking by himself. His mood is excellent," Maimon told Army Radio. "He has no deformation, neither in his face nor anywhere else on his body. He looks excellent."

6. Can you say "It's Howdy Doody time"?

Jabba is going to be "fine" whether he's fine or not.

8. Maybe he'll step down from office due to his health?

I don't wish harm on Sharon, and I recognize that there are worse potential leaders for Israel than he, people who are far more radical in their ideas about the Palestineans and how to deal with them.

I really am neutral on the whole Israeli-Palestinean conflict. Both sides have committed atrocities, and I understand both sides' arguments. I wish that the Palestineans would stop blowing Israelis up, and using their own children as walking bombs. The Israelis have done some bad things in the past, like tearing homes down of people who have relatives that may be terrorists, but they seem to have stopped doing so much of that since they accidentally killed Rachel Corrie.
