Don't you think the fact is extremely amusing? 
It makes me chuckle in a regrettive way.
The man directly outright lied to the Israeli PM then-Menachem Begin about how far the Israeli Invasion in Lebanon will go.
The Kahan Commission found General Sharon to bear personal responsibility on the Sabra and Shatila massacre.
In those days, my mom used to say "If he becomes our Prime Minister I will leave the country".
...The Minister of Defense, Mr. Ariel Sharon
We have found, as has been detailed in this report, that the Minister of Defense bears personal responsibility. In our opinion, it is fitting that the Minister of Defense draw the appropriate personal conclusions arising out of the defects revealed with regard to the manner in which he discharged the duties of his office - and if necessary, that the Prime Minister consider whether he should exercise his authority under Section 21-A(a) of the Basic Law: the Government, according to which "the Prime Minister may, after informing the Cabinet of his intention to do so, remove a minister from office."...

Mr. Sharon was found responsible for ignoring the danger of bloodshed and revenge when he approved the entry of the Phalangists into the camps as well as not taking appropriate measures to prevent bloodshed.
He used to say that he will see the creation of a Palestinian State as a personal insult
So, what do you think about Sharon as a PM, a wise move or a sad reflection of the situation in the middle east that even Israel elects a leader such as he?

) but I don't thnik he's as bad as Barak. Sharon isn't good enough to win the war or to make the economy thrive but he has been able to stop the deterioration in the situation of both during Barak's time. I don't see what his past has to do with how he is as a prime minister, and if it does it would be only fair to include all his past and not just a low point.
