In today's San Francisco paper one Gore Vidal, who resides in Italy and is about to visit the capital of the world from the point of view of his, uhm, proclivities, says (again) that September 11 was our own damn fault. Is he now going to tell Italians that this incident is their own damn fault? Curious minds want to know!

"See your bet and raise you a hundred it was a pimply teenager on accutane.:

BTW the pimply teen on Accutane in Tampa was of Arab extraction. The crooked trial lawyer in that bogus lawsuit lottery doesn't want ya ta know that tidbit.

"Twenty lire bet that the pilot was of Arab extraction or is a practicing Muslim."

Okay, Laz. Stop that profiling!

LOL...McKinney will probably declare that Reagan was flying the plane.

Just hope and pray that because it's 6:00 in the evening, not many or no one was in the building at the time.

From Drudge: A small plane flew into Milan's "Pirelli" skyscaper which lodges the offices of the Lombardy region, according to the news agency Ansa. The police did not confirm the information but said the last two floors of the building were hit by an explosion. A broker working in a building lodging the US consulate in Milan said the building has been surrounded by police and is being evacuated. The building is in the centre of Milan and about 1 kilometre away from the Pirelli building.

Let's just pray that people have gotten out safely. No other country should have to suffer they way we did on 9/11.

It should not happen anywhere. Italy has been supportive of USA and has a conservative government that is held in "distain" by France, Germany, etc..

Al Qaeda tends to do "COORDINATED" attacks (ie. 4 planes on 9/11)...............let's see if anything else happens.

That was Al Qaeda's M.O. before its infrastructure was torn apart and it was the focus of all our intel. Now trying to coordinate simultaneous attacks would be very risky, so Al Qaeda would be much safer in conducting singular attacks like this, IMHO.

Wasn't it the Italian Prime Minister, Berlusconi, who said that we are facing a war of civilizations? The West vs Islam? I guess someone decided to bring the war to him.

Does anyone have a link to an "ARAB-CAM" website which may show them rejoicing & "trilling" on the streets, celebrating "the glory of ALLAH"?

Islam is a "peaceful" religion, ya know!

Gotta give the Italians credit, we would have been blaming it on the center fuel tank.

Maybe just MAYBE this will convince Europe they are not immune to terrorism.

Most likely, it will convince the Europeans that they are not appeasing the terrorists enough.
