>What makes him evil is his baiting of the Palestinians, his encouragement of WB settlements in the early 90s when he was Housing Minister, and turning his back on the Lebanese mass killing of Palestinians in the early 80s. Its sounds to me like Sharon is playing out a vendetta and not taking care of his people.

I'm one who normally does not believe in a leopard changing his spots, but Sharon really appears to have. He did some sh*tty things before he became Prime Minister, but he's been relatively responsible since. I'd assume this is for three reasons: One, because he's realized that there was absolutely nothing to be gained from his previous positions. Two, most Israelis really want peace and still are holding out for a two-state solution (to avoid a demographic disaster) and if he doesn't oblige them he won't remain PM for long. Three, he really despises those to the right of him, largely because many of them are religious and he's devoutly secular.

>We can only hope but its Hamas that needs to be neutralized most.

The al-Aqsa Brigades (of which Arafat is the Supreme Leader) are just as dangerous these days.
