Ariel Sharon, who was Israel's prime minister in one of its most turbulent phases and one of the most controversial figures in its history, has died, aged 85, after spending the last eight years of his life in a coma.

The decorated former army general was pronounced dead at the Tel Hashomer Hospital, near Tel Aviv, days after doctors reported a sharp deterioration in his health, leading to multiple organ failure. He was prime minister from 2001 until he suffered a massive stroke in January 2006, which left him incapacitated.

One of the good guys. He'd been in that coma for 8 years? Wow. Never came out of it.

A Lion among lions.

I forgot he was in a coma...

I hope he gives my best to Dutch.  He was as important apart of pre-911 world peace as Thatcher and Reagan.  We need them so much now and are stuck with obozo and holder and the like.

Bitchslapped for not knowing he meant Ronald Reagan. Or, if you did know, for feigning not to know.  :-)
