Ariel Sharon: A Mythic Man
By Micah Halpern

Thursday January 5, 2006

I've Been Thinking:

At this point I cannot even begin to conceive of an Israel without Ariel Sharon as its prime minister.
I will not predict the future, but I will recall the past. I will recall Ariel "Arik" Sharon's legacy to date.

Sharon, both as politician and as military man was a larger than life figure - not just in size but in vision. He always saw things differently than other leaders and trusted his own instincts over the advise of others.
Sharon was a mature leader, not just in years but in understanding. His greatest strength was problem solving, finding new and unique ways to solve those issues plaguing his people, his country, his own career.
Sharon had a charming personality, full of humor and a belly rippling laugh. He used his charm, not charisma but charm, to convince the masses of ... why he was correct ... why he changed his stance ... that always uppermost in his mind was a safer Israel.

If Ariel Sharon is no longer a presence in the Middle East it will be a great loss to the entire region. Ariel Sharon envisioned a future that only he could actualize. Ariel Sharon, man of mythic proportions.
