was approved by arafat beforehand. sharon didnt necessarily have to get permission, but did so because the PA at the time had nominal authority over the temple mount.
sharon, like any person running for major political office (or leader of a country)in most countries, has bodyguards to protect him against assasination attempts (arafat has the similar guards)
did he bring too many with him to the mount? perhaps. but also remember the current infidata (sp?) began BEFORE sharon stepped one foot on the temple mount. a place he had every right to go to (as does anyone who visits jerusalem be they jewish, muslim, christian, hindu etc)
peace david :hippie:
