Woohoo, hopefully he'll die. Then Israel can get a new leader who'll do exactly the same and ordinary people will continue to die. Great. Do you think we'll ever run out of bastard politicians?
The thing is that Israel can not get a new leader who will do the exact same thing. The evacuation from Gaza was only so successful as it was because of this leader, it wouldn't have happened without his leadership. Currently, besides Sharon, there are four possibilities for prime minister:
Ehud Olmert (likely to become the new prime minister)-He is a very good leader, i would agree to that, he was the mayor of Jerusalem for four years and did a great job. However, leading the country to an other evacuation, this time from a bigger place, this is a very big step. Since he doesn't come from army as the other leader do, it would make things even harder. Also, he never showed too much publicity and he still doesn't, the citizens don't know him well yet.
Amir Peretz (pretty liely to become prime minister)- Well, he believes in the same things as olmert does although they are from different parties. However, he has a lot less years of expiriance in politics, he just came and was chosen to be the leader of Ha'Avodah. So, he cannot really lead us to a successful evacuatrion from the west bank for not having expiriance not in the army field and not in the politics field.
Shim'on Peres (pretty unlikely to become prime minister)- He is a pretty good leader actually, I think that he could lead us to a successful evacuation from the west bank. However, Sharon was a lot better than him in that field, he is boldest and more serious than him in these things. Also, the chances of him getting to the prime minister position are close to zero.
Benjamin Netaniahu (unlikely to become the new prime minister)-He is a total ass, and he won't get elected, if he would, he would not lead us to an evacuation at all.
