Sharon a Crook?

Israel’s state prosecutor is charging Ariel Sharon, the Prime Minister, with taking bribes from a local businessman.
I don’t like Sharon. His policy toward the Palestinians is short-sighted, almost as bad as the PLO policy toward Israel.
This news item, however, reminds me that Israel is a democracy. Can you imagine anybody charging Arafat with corruption? And living, I mean.
