In the past couple of years, I have noticed that Sharon's image has begun to look more and more like Bush's image. Sharon also began to wear the pin with the flag on his left lapel (only Sharon's pin is of Israel's flag). Sharon speaks in simple language to the media. He even has a "ranch" in the Negev, to which he periodically goes to refresh himself. His recent recovery from a small stroke has, however, led Bush himself to suggest to Sharon a way to become even more "Bush-like." In the words of Haaretz: "U.S. President George W. Bush told Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to eat less, work less and exercise more. . . . The president also reportedly told Sharon that he needs him healthy, and said he hoped to see results of physical exercise and weight loss when the two meet in a couple of months." The results of this change in lifestyle, Bush went on to say, could be crucial to the war on terror.

Maybe President Bush could have told PM Sharon to eat the same amount while working even more, or to eat less while working the same amount. But, regardless of what he eats, I don't see how PM Sharon's working less will help President Bush win the War Against Terror. Any insights?
Anonymous: I think the idea was that if Sharon returns to the hospital, he will have a hard time collaborating with Bush.
