 Ariel Sharon started breathing on his own and moved his right arm and leg in response to pain stimulation Monday, but his chief surgeon said that despite that "very important" sign, it'll be days before doctors can assess whether the prime minister is lucid enough to return to power — an outcome considered unlikely. A medical ruling would end days of uncertainty over the fate of the 77-year-old leader many herald as the best hope for Mideast peace. Doctors said his chances of survival are better, but that he is not out of danger. | Er, when exactly did 'many' herald The Butcher of Jenin as the 'best hope for Mideast peace'? Was that one minute or one hour after his prognosis turned grim? Liars and fools. |
