What does the shift of power in Israel mean for the US/Iran situation? Sharon suffered significant stroke-per CNN just now.

5. No we don't. That forum is for Israel and Palestine. |
|
The question is explicitly about Israel, Iran and the U.S.

2. The demise of Arafat seemed to change mideast politics pretty |

substantially. One would think Sharon's ill health could have similar repercussions.

3. They transferred power to Deputy PM... |
|
...and they're saying he's on a respirator. Also, paralysis of his lower body.
Sanjay Gupta's on now, saying this is very serious.

the end is nigh. One less criminal for the Hague. Bob Marley has a great verse in Wake up and Live. Strange it's the only thing in my head since I heard the news of his first stroke. "You see one, one cocoa full a basket Whey they use you live big today Tomorrow you bury ina casket One one cocoa full a basket Whey they use you live big today Tomorrow you bury ina casket All together now
Wake up and live now Wake up and live" ----------------------- No matter how big or bad you think you are tomorrow you bury in a casket. No tears here.

11. I think they are in flux right now. |

Sharon had moved out of the likud party and shifted more to the center in recent weeks. An election is scheduled for sometime in the next couple of months. I 'm not sure whether Sharon would have kept power when the election was scheduled.

for the man himself- or for us i believe.
Sharon was taking a very unpopular position in the 'pull-out'. Even amongst some right wing american fundies.
Very strange timing- considering that we are sposed to go against Iran with Israel in the near future.
This mess of a world just gets curiouser and curiousor-
Anyone know anything about the Apostolic Congress?
I just read a bit about the armegeddon influence on the White house-
It's pretty creepy- you might want to google it- somehow I got there while looking at impeachment sites....
