Ariel Sharon has another surgery

Ariel Sharon (he's still got the Prime Minister title, which sounds more like a cruel joke as time passes) had surgery today to replace part of his skull, which was removed following his massive stroke back in early Jan.

This is terribly sad, and I wonder how much longer it will continue. At this point, there's very little chance that Sharon will recover even a little bit. Why are they still carving him up?

I'm already working on my tribute to Sharon, to be published when he passes. A controversial figure for most of his adult life, he wound up being in the top 5 (arguably in the top 3) most influential Israelis ever. He is missed right now, and will be missed for years to come.
