#1 If Israel loses Sharon now, Israel loses!

#2 I disagree. Sharon isn't irreplaceable.
There are plenty of Likud party members that would have no problem picking up the cudgel.
If there's something to these charges, it might be better to lose him. You don't want the message being confused with the messenger.

#3 The Left will go into a frenzy over this. Not realizing they he will be likely replaced by someone more hawkish.

#4 From all that I can see, Sharon has been one of Israel's greatest PMs, among many outstanding ones.
But he has provided invaluable leadership at one of the most crucial times in Israel's history.
He is to Israel what President Bush is to America.
Both have their political enemies who would manufacture a scandal to bring them down.
If this should happen, Bibi Netanyahu will be waiting.
Whereas if Lurch unseats Bush, I'm moving to Costa Rica!

#5 Jen, enjoy your life in Costa Rica.

#6 You wish, Auntie!
While you'll be ducking and covering, waiting for the next terror attack...
Kerry ain't gonna win and I'm not that fond of the tropics.
Viva Bush!

#7 Oh, and can we get the Lib Dims to promise that they'll move to France when Lurch doesn't win, too?
That would be great, thanks!

#8 If Israel loses Sharon now, Israel loses!

It's not a done deal, yet.

If Sharon does resign, the most likely successor, assuming no new elections are called, will be Netanyahu.

Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Aqsa would much rather prefer to listen to Jerry Falwell preach about the saving grace of Jesus Christ, than to have Netanyahu run the show.

Not that he is a miltary fella, but he is a free marketer, a business conservative who could well come up with the ultimate trump card to the Islamist's favorite fantasy of an Islamic socialist state.

#9 and Bibi would have to reestablish his cojones every time there's a boomer, so no letup in the WOT
