Brilliant. Heck, why not invite Bin Laden to stay as a guest of the state?
"He demanded that he stand up to Mr Bush, "even to the point of risking a break in relations", as his father had done to President Reagan in 1985, when he refused to hand over Palestinian terrorists to America."
Yeah, now there's a great moment in "profiles in courage" of the Euro-twit left..... in 1985, the US (thanks to Oliver North and some pilot friends in F-14s) had intercepted the plane carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers and forced it to land in Italy. The brave Italian government of the time decided it would rather secretly spirit the terrorists out of the country than hand them over to the US to face justice for the hijacking and for the savage murder of a disabled American passenger in a wheelchair (Leon Klinghoffer, I believe).
No serious, intelligent, decent person could cite the behavior of the cowardly Italian government in that episode as behavior to be emulated, but the Euro-twit leftists are neither serious nor decent nor intelligent. They are clowns, masquerading as serious political people....
