PARIS — Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, whose nation takes over the European Union presidency today, told France that the union should complement the United States, not compete with it.

Mr. Berlusconi made his remarks yesterday in a rare radio interview with France's Europe-1 station from his residence on the island of Sardinia.

"The leftist press in Italy has made war since I arrived on the scene and since they lost the elections," he said. "There is a division between the moderate people and the extremists, between love and hate, good and evil, truth and lies; that's what's happening in Italy with the newspapers."

Could just as aptly be said of the United States. Everything is coming to a huge clash globally.
