>Sharon wanted to goad Hamas and he did by visiting the Muslim shrine with Israeli troops immediately after he was elected

Correction -- it was before he was elected, and it may have gotten him elected. Also overlooked is that that shrine, called "Haram-al-Sharif" by the Muslims and the "Temple Mount" by the Jews, is the holiest site in the Jewish religion. For some reason, even though the Israelis control that whole area, they leave the Muslims in charge of that shrine, and the Muslims don't normally allow Jews there, which is why it was such a big deal.
