They all need to be whopped across the side of the head.

Yea, that will do it - but you spelled it wrong - wop - without papers. Also thanks for insulting Americans of Italian heritage that served this country in war.

I agree. They are traitors in wartime, actively supporting the enemy. They are legit targets.

The Antiimperialistas are a group of European anti-war and anti-globalisation supporters.

A.N.S.W.E.R. liberals. They started out as "Share Americas wealth" Clinton defenders during impeachment. This isn't about anti-war. It's political. The more people they can get killed, the better the Democrat of their choice (Clinton) looks come election time.

Caribinieri, hell! Let the Alpini or the Bersaglieri have them. They are the Italian troops that nobody ever makes fun of: the tough mountaineers from villages up near the Swiss and Austrian borders. Those guys don't fool around.

The organisation's Italian branch says the money will be given to an Iraqi resistance group known as the Iraqi Patriotic Opposition.

Italian soldiers are fighting with us. They're paying to get even more of their own killed. It's political.

When asked to confirm if the money raised could be used to buy weapons he admitted: "Yes they could, and why not?"

The Muslims may come after them next. If they aren't bowing down to Allah, they're on the list. Will they ask for our help then?

who don't care anything about Muslims, but who do want to wrest the Presidency away from a Republican, and put it in the hands of a Democrat/Socialist.

That's it. The left has become a terrorist group themselves just because they lost one election. Is that totally insane, or what?.

What this Italian said over two millenia ago is still true today.

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."

- Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Orator - 106-43 B.C.

I seem to recall one of the Caribinieri doing quite okay nailing one attacker with a single shot from his Beretta when attacked by one of the masked rioters during the G8 conference- then backing over the creep on their way out, a nice touch. Here's hoping they turn those fellas loose on this bunch as well.

[And that the other people bring a fire extinguisher to a gunfight."]

Americans should not be angry at the Italians - they have supported us throughout OIF. Calling the Italian Embassy equates to Italians calling the US Embassy in Rome because they are angry about ANSWER and all the other sundry 'anti-war' organizations festering in the good old USA. Italy is in for the long haul in Iraq and has reaffirmed its comitment.

Mad at all Italians? Oh no; we know better than that. And I'll guarantee you that those with the hardest hearts against those betraying their own countrymen can be found up around the still-Italian neighborhoods of Chicago and Milwaukee.

And that's likely also where you'd have heard the tears for the 19.

Italian Carabinieri carry the Italian flag-draped coffin of one of the slain Italian soldiers toward the Unknown Soldier Monument, in Rome, Monday, Nov. 17, 2003, where a funeral chamber will be set up Monday Nov. 17, for the 19 Italians killed in a car-bomb attack in Nasiriyah, southern Iraq

Italian Carabinieri carry a coffin of one the 19 Italian soldiers killed in Iraq as they arrive at Rome's tomb of the unknown soldier where they will lie in state all day for Italians to pay their respects November 17, 2003. A state funeral will be held in St Paul's Outside-the-Walls church on Tuesday.

A man shows the Italian and the US flag with a palcard reading ' Honor to the martyrs of freedom' as he walks in front of Rome's Vittoriano monument where the coffins of the 19 Italians killed in Iraq (news - web sites) are laid inside, Monday, Nov. 17, 2003. Thousands of mourners, from Italy's president to ordinary citizens, paid their respects to the victims of Italy's worst military disaster since World War II.
