Yes, I was wondering about this. As I said, the Likud party's interests had diverged from Sharon's. I hope the party doesn't go with Bibi, because I'm pretty sure the people prefer Arik.

Gotta have Reuter's little editorial comment:

With Israel rocked by political upheaval after Sharon's "unity" government collapsed last week, Middle East peace efforts were certain to be put on the back burner for months.

When Arafat tossed the reformers out of his cabinet last week, did that set back Middle East peace efforts? No, of course not, silly, only the Israelis set back peace efforts, the Palestinians are only spoken of as the victims. Watch for it, you'll see.
