![]() The Bulldozer was not only a master soldier and statesman, but also a diplomat.
He was the first Israeli PM to visit India, a huge force behind Indo-Israeli defence ties ;responsible among other things, for lobbying in USA to get India the Phalcon AWACS system and Israel's unconditional help to India in procuring ordinance and intel during the Kargil War.

![]() It is such a shame that Sharon was cut down when he was. Not that he was young so much as at a critical juncture in history. I suppose in many ways I have considered him gone for quote a few years now. I felt like this with my own grandmother. She had Alzheimer's and all her memories of me, my mother, etc. disappeared long before she actually died. She couldn't even speak English at the end! She had reverted to her first language, German, even though English had been her language for nearly 70 years. So the day she died it was weird. I felt like bother much had happened. I know that sounds awful but the person I loved was long gone, just a shell remained. I feel similarly with Sharon. He was a great man but what made him who he was has been gone so long that I feel like his death had already happened.
Regardless, he will be missed terribly. RIP Arik Sharon and condolences to your family. |
