>, on the contrary the issue came up; that's why Netanyahu was the clear cut favorite until Barak finessed him out of the race. Not really. Netanyahu was favored over Sharon because of the same reasons we like him in the states- he's young, charismatic, and well-spoken. Netanyahu was driven out of the race later on because he was accused of, I believe, bribery, and wasn't absolved until after the election was over. That's why they picked Sharon. >The Israeli tribunal back in the early 1980's didn't just slap Sharon's hand; he was forced to resign. Sort of. He was forced to resign as Defense Minister, but not from the Cabinet. They didn't think what he did made him a terrible guy, just someone not suitable to run the army after making such a bad blunder. -Z
