A very special place in Hell awaits war criminals like Ariel Sharon, I expect.
Robert Fisk writes: Israel's Prime Minister was a ruthless military commander responsible for one of the most shocking war crimes of the 20th century. "President George Bush acclaims Ariel Sharon as 'a man of peace', yet the blood that was shed at Sabra and Chatila remains a stain on the conscience of the Zionist nation. As Sharon lies stricken in his hospital bed, his political career over, how will history judge him?"
And Robert Fisk answers the question he has raised: "So it is as a war criminal that Sharon will be known forever in the Arab world, through much of the Western world, in fact - save, of course, for the craven men in the White House and the State Department and the Blair Cabinet - as well as many leftist Israelis. Sabra and Chatila was a crime against humanity. Its dead counted more than half the fatalities of the World Trade Centre attacks of 2001. "
