No Hal, I didn't re-write the article below --I SWEAR!! LOL.... Netanyahu's Wife: Israel 'Can Burn' Thu Sep 5, 4:23 PM ET By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI, Associated Press Writer JERUSALEM (AP) - In audio taped remarks played on Israel TV Thursday the wife of former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "this country can burn" and that she and her husband would leave Israel because he is not appreciated. Sara Netanyahu later apologized in a letter to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. She made the comments Monday during a telephone conversation with Shimshon Deri, an activist in Netanyahu and Sharon's Likud party. In the phone call, she said, "There are sometimes issues of revenge and personal conflicts and they don't understand one thing: when the country is in flames, when there are terror attacks ... there is one person who can save this country," referring to her husband, who is vying with Sharon for party leadership. Using Netanyahu's nickname, she said, "Bibi is a leader who is greater than this entire country, he really is a leader on a national scale. We'll move abroad. This country can burn. This country can't survive without Bibi. People here will be slaughtered." [...] story.news.yahoo.com BTW, Hal, do you know if Bibi and Sara have a son by the name of Nero? (just curious...) Agrippina the Younger Wife of Claudius and mother of Nero myron.sjsu.edu Excerpt: By this time, Claudius was nearing the end of his life. Agrippina, being an ambitious and intelligent woman married to an emperor considered a weakling and somewhat of a dunce by those around him, naturally took the reins of power into her own hands. During the last five years of Claudius' reign, she grew more and more powerful. At the time of their marriage, Agrippina had a teenage son named Nero who was to become the future Roman emperor of that name. She immediately secured his future by having Claudius adopt him. Claudius also had a son by Messalina named Brittanicus. In A.D. 54, Claudius died after eating a dish of poison mushrooms. The early historians perpetuate the rumor that Agrippina had murdered him, but she really didn't have a motive. She already controlled much of imperial policy and had seen to it that her son would be heir to the throne. Even today, people die after gathering and eating poison mushrooms gathered in Italy as they are easily mistaken for the edible kind. When Nero ascended the throne, he was only seventeen and could not legally rule in his own name. Agrippina acted as his regent and was a powerful controlling influence on him even after he had reached the age of eighteen and could govern in his own right. For the first time in Roman history, a woman was given the title of AVGVSTA, meaning "empress", and her portrait appeared on coins with that of her son. Up until that time, women of the imperial household had only been portrayed on coins after they had died. [snip] _______________________
