speaking about mandella and Sharon in the same breath is as crass as using milosovic and Gandhi

Sharon was a butcher , utterly divisive and focused on only his own tribes path

Sharon wasn't considered a terrorist. But there are several examples of people as already mentioned like Arafat, Mandala and others who were considered terrorists and then become respected national leaders.
