Well, the Swedes got it different. And so did the Norwegians, when they jailed a woman for rape just 2 weeks ago. She forced herself with a BJ on a man sleeping it off after a heavy evening. Forgot the chain of evidence though :) Taro

Interesting turn of events.......what do you think? Do you think its real? Sharon triggers political earthquake Mon Nov 21, 2005 1:13 AM ET (Page 1 of 2) By Allyn Fisher-Ilan JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will meet Israel's president on Monday to request a snap election he hopes to win as head of a new centrist party intent on pursuing peacemaking with the Palestinians. In a move described by the Israeli media as a political earthquake, Sharon will ask President Moshe Katsav at their 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) meeting to dissolve parliament and call an election within 90 days, Israeli officials said. Then Sharon will announce that he will quit the right-wing Likud party that he helped found to head a new centrist party in a move that is expected to reshape Israeli politics and peacemaking, the officials said. By doing so, Sharon will break from the far-right Likud "rebels" who opposed his withdrawal from the occupied Gaza Strip and potentially free him to give up more land that Palestinians seek for a state. "It's a tsunami," said Israel Radio political commentator Hannan Crystal. "Sharon's move to reshape Israel's borders today also becomes a move to shape a new political map with him at the helm of a new centrist party," Crystal added. The 77-year-old's gamble is possibly the biggest of a military and political career built on risk-taking. Polls indicate it is uncertain he can turn the popularity of the Gaza pullout into electoral victory. Sharon had already agreed to bring forward the ballot from November 2006 to February or March. In theory, Katsav could ask someone else to try to form a government -- an unlikely prospect -- otherwise he would dissolve parliament for an election to be held within 90 days. Sharon has begun contacting political allies to join a new party he would head. Israeli media said 14 of Likud's 40 lawmakers, including five cabinet ministers, have agreed to join him. He has also been wooing veteran peacemaker and old coalition ally Shimon Peres, whose November 10 defeat as leader of the center-left Labour party by union leader Amir Peretz triggered the political upheaval.
