Sharon back in Surgery; Middle East Situation Uncertain
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is back in surgery after a scan revealed bleeding in his brain.
It seems agreed that Sharon will not be returning to politics irregardless of the outcome of this or Wednesday's surgeries. And his absence creates a gapping hole in the options for the pending Israeli election as Sharons' newly formed centrist Kadima party - which was expected to win the election - is without a leader. As the Israeli paper has commented that "the gravity of Sharon's condition reshuffles all the political cards".
Nicknamed "The Bulldozer," Sharon said he wanted to move forward with peace talks with the Palestinians and told his closest aides that he wanted a lasting peace as his legacy.
