What next in the Middle East?

So one school of thought is that Prime Minister Sharon will die of this brain hemorage ... and that soon thereafter the nation will usher in Bebe Netenyahu as Prime Minister. He will not be as easy for the United States to control, and may begin threatening missile strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities.

What does the US do then? What happens if Israel does strike Iran?

There are other reports that the US may strike Iran, this blogger does a good job of tracking, but frankly a popular uprising inside of Iran would be better for everyone.

Another school of thought, the more prophetic types, has Isreal electing a new prime minister while Sharon fights to regain his health. But, amazingly he does, and he becomes a fully triangulated "former" peace leader like Gorbachev. What role would he play then?
