The only power Sharon has is in not giving into a Palestinian state. Once that happens all his actions to avoid that will become moot. Palestinian statehood = Sharon out of power.

So you're aying that all Sharon has to gain from this is that he will stay in power for so long as the conflict continues? All I have ever seen from any of the Israeli heirarchy is a desire fr the shit to stop. I have never seen rumors of great personal wealth being gained, etc. as is attributed to Arafat. I think if this were settled you'd never hear from Sharon again and he would be the happiest man on earth - just my opinion but that's the way I see it - Arafat, on the otherhand, would become totally useless to anyone if the shit were to stop.
