The end of the Sharon era

Once despised by a generation of Israelis, Ariel Sharon became a venerated father figure. His passing from the political scene leaves the future of the Middle East in even greater doubt.

    Yet another Era Ends.....

    01-06-06 @9:03PM

    If Senor Sharon survives much longer in the flesh he will never be in the position of power he once had yet

    it also seems like God's perfect timing.

    Sharon helped lead Israel, mis-led Israel and then ended up providing leadership for Israel to live in relative peace and security in recognition of the Palestinian people's right to independence within their own state, as the Jewish people have.

    It reminds me of two dogs fighting over the same bone and if peaceful co-existence can ever happen then it must happen between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.

    There are interestng parallels between Sharon and Arafat. If there is an afterlife, they may be able to swap war stories soon!

    We are all upon the same Mother Earth, there is no replacement and we should all endlessly seek ways to live together in true social peace or we will end up killing each other off!

    Humanely Yours ~
