He has been controversial at times; he makes decisions in a manner he considers best for Israel, irregardless of popular, or public, opinion.

Where are the Muslims leaders who want equality and justice? Why have I not heard Muslim leaders come out and blast these types of statements?
We live in such a PC world, where are the do-gooders now? This staatement is appaling, I cannot believe how evil it sounds.
Reported by AP:
In Damascus, Syria, a radical Palestinian leader called Sharon’s health crisis a gift from God.
“We say it frankly that God is great and is able to exact revenge on this butcher… We thank God for this gift he presented to us on this new year,” said Ahmed Jibril, leader of the Syrian-backed faction Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, a small radical group.
The Iranian President has also chimed in with even more disgusting comments:
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s president said Thursday he hoped for the death of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the latest anti-Israeli comment by a leader who has already provoked international criticism for suggesting that Israel be “wiped off the map.”
“Hopefully, the news that the criminal of Sabra and Chatilla has joined his ancestors is final,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the semiofficial Iranian Students News Agency.
Ahmadinejad was referring to Sharon
We should all pray and hope for the bnest for this man. I can’t believe some of the boneheaded comments I have heard regarding his current helath situation. Even Pat Robertson made an idiot of himself by making his bone-headed comments. I agree, these Muslims get away with so much hate-speech, why do they get away with it? How can they hide behind their religion, is it just because they think we don’t understand it? That is dumb, we understand, we also see that they are hiding behind it like its a shield. To say what they said abour Sharon is disgusting. Anyone with any intelligence can see that Sharon was a major staple of peace and justice in the region, to say otherwise is rediculous.
This region of the world needs stability as much as anywhere in the world. We can only hoep and pray for the best. If Sharon is unable to return to his duties, there will be an election within 100 days to find a replacement Prime Minister.
this is crazy Ariel Sharon was a good perosn and he was for change I hope that he gets better soon
