Will Ariel Sharon be re-elected?
I think it's a safe bet that most of us wish someone else were in charge at this point, even those of us who are pro-Israel. But will it happen? Who would you like to see instead?
Think of it this way: There are those trying to achieve power who are even MORE diehard anti-Palestinian than Sharon. Sharon has, at the very least, managed to go contrary to his party's mindset when he didn't announce his refusal to accept a Palestinian state (his party wanted him to, but he hasn't, to my knowledge, done so).

He'll be replaced. He did little to stop ings, and only made thtem angrier.
The only person who can bring peace to the Middle East is Arafat... if he dies!
If peace is to come to the Middle East, the Palistinian leaders behind all the ism must be crushed, or the people of the West Bank must feel that they'll be better off without their own state.

A modern tragedy
Will: Yes
Should: No
It is a tragedy that attitudes on both sides have become so hardened that peace has become virtually impossible. Decades in a state of seige have hardened both sides attitudes to the point where genocide is considered the only option by people who you would expect to have a more reasonable and rational attitude.
Sharon has shown that he is a man who gets things done (albeit at a rather steep cost). He did even manage to stop suicide bombings for a few weeks by invading the Occupied Territories... So I guess he will be the people's choice.
It is just a shame that there isn't a charismatic peacemaker for people on both sides of the ethnic divide to turn to.

Bebe Netanyatu with be the next PM of Israel, then the blood bath will begin. (just after the next terroris attack) Gaza will be carpet bombed, the you will then have a reason to complain about atrocities. Oh yes, Yassir will be killed.

Sharon? Ah, yes. The Butcher. Why he was elected, no one knows. If he'll stay. Probably, unfortunatly.

Here is what should happen
Give the Palastinians the west bank. But make Jerusalem an international free city because of its religious importance to three major religions. That F***ing has caused too many problems over the ages.
