Anybody following this? With America all consumed by the election, nobody seemed to notice that one of the bloodiest campaigns in years had been going down in Gaza over the last few weeks.

Sharon's coalition is crumbling, but he seems to be sticking to his word about the Gaza withdrawal. One criticism I've heard is that he is only doing this in order to maintain, and even increase, settlements in the West Bank.

Any thoughts? Bravo Sharon? Yes or no?
