Israel PM Ariel Sharon Suffers Stroke, Gov't In Limbo

Ariel Sharon is still in serious condition after surgery. He could be sedated, according to the AP.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon could be sedated for up to three days as doctors fight to keep him alive after emergency brain surgery for his massive stroke, a hospital official said Thursday...

...Many Israelis see Sharon — an overweight war hero and longtime hawk who changed tack and withdrew from the Gaza Strip last year — as the best hope for achieving a peace deal with the Palestinians. His illness would create a power vacuum in the government and cloud Kadima's prospects...

Vice Premier Ehud Olmert has been named acting prime minister in Sharon's absence.

PS- Pat Robertson send his usual greetings.
