Fight the terrorist in Iraq or fight them in Rome. Italy is opting for the battlefield most advantageous to them.

Also, please ask one person to do the same and ask them to ask another, hopefully, God willing, we will flood the switchboard with calls and faxes like they have never seem.

This is something that I consider amazing:

",,,scenes Al Jazeera said were too bloody to screen."

This almost sounds like a very small glimmer of hope, not much really, but a tiny bit at least.

You don't mean a hope that there are some things too revolting even by Al Jazeera standards, do you? I'm hoping there is no tape. I hold out no hope for A.J.

In dealing with the terrorists, the Italians should"take the gun and leave the cannoli" this time.

The Italians must be proud to have a real man as their leader. THIS is what you think of when you say "Italian" not the wimpy weak creature who represents the EU. BRAVO Italy!

"I'm hoping there is no tape."

Nope.. the tape exists. From the original post:
"Italy's ambassador in Qatar identified Quattrocchi in the footage."

But it doesn't matter ... the dead contractor was probably only a stooge, some leftist trying to make a stand and force his government to pull out.

What do you mean no-one could be stupid enough to make such an outrageous, pathetic and appaling claim without a skerrick of proof?

See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1114279/posts for an example.

I wish the Italian leader had the political will and power to send 2000 Italian troops to Iraq for every Italian hostage killed.
