And no, Italy didn't suddenly get that way after Berlusconi's election loss. It's been that way for a long time.

The problem is there are no good choices. Any way you look it, Europe is going to be hurt. Iran's nuclear program has to be stopped. The real question is the extent of the price: it can be low or much higher if every one waits.

when we find ourselves faced with such a choice, we must evaluate costs and benefits for all parties involved".

We need to allow Iran to nuclearize the middle-east, giving Nuke bomb tech to Syria and Al Qaida, causing Saudi Arabia to match in defense, and continue their wanton destruction of Iraq democracy so that Italy can get Pistachio nuts and carpets.

"Italy believes it has ' a particular format adapted to favouring the treatment of sensitive political issues'. "

I seem to remember that at one time Czechoslovakia was described as a "sensitive political issue." The European format "adapted to favouring the treatment" of the Czechoslovakia issue didn't work out too well, did it?

"Italy will pay a price and it is only fair that it has a say in the matter "

Italy has to make a choice - do they want to become dhimmies or do they want to be free? If you want to be free you have to fight for it (and pay the price); otherwise, let them collaborate with Iran, the way they did with Hitler, and pay those consequences. Life is tough.

Massimo D'Alema is Italy's equivalent of Kim Il Sung.

Born to a Communist leader, bred to be a Communist leader.
