I'm fed up with these wussies dumping everything in our lap. The Italian people (every single poll demonstrates unequivocally) never wanted us to attack, nor did they want their military involved in this war. So how is this "dumping everything in our lap"? They didn't force Bush to attack Iraq. On top of everything else: is this how we treat our allies now? Berlusconi gambles a good deal of his political capital and his countries prestige (to say nothing of Italian blood and money) for 2.5 YEARS, and you call him/his country "wussies"? No wonder the US have so few allies left. It's called diplomacy. Check into it sometime.

Gimme a break. These euro act like they have no responsabilty to foster freedom.
They sure as hell are going to benifit from a free Middle East.
Isolationism dissapeared in the 1940's. Italy didn't seem to learn much from WW II. Using your attitude, the USA should have said no when Europe begged us to stop the Yugoslavia war from spreading in EU-rope.
If that's the case,lets pull out of Bosnia/Kosovo now and see if the fighting starts up again. If it does, it's Europes problem. Right?
