Once regular army gets over itself and sends Spec Ops back in, things will quiet down again. Damned politics.

This is the biggest tragedy for the Italian Military since after WW2 (never before 14 Italian soldiers were killed on a foreign land).
Personally I'm very sad about this, and the fact was given a huge cover by the media, to the point that the TV is now showing the debate in the parliament concerning this tragedy (because for us it is really like a national tragedy).

I dont find it surprising at all. The war isnt supported by many in europe so many people are having difficulties to feel sympathetic about this, many people probably think like "its their fault, who told them to go there anyway" Americaines are just more pro-war than we.

This is now by far the worst month for the coalition forces since the end of the war. Only time will tell if this is the turning point as the country turns to normality, a last jerk from a corrupt regime. Or the start of a new period of increasing violence and rebellion against the new order.Comment

We did sent troops to combat zone before (very recents were East Timor, Afghanistan and Kosovo, and in the latter there is still a huge Italian presence there). Although this is the first time we did it as "Italy" and not as part of the UN Forces.

A number of the Democrats think that if we let a UN commissioner take Bremer's position, that NATO would send troops to help out/replace American troops. The theory they advance is that the resistance by Saddam/outside terrorists is solely related to America running the occupation and that turning it over to the UN/NATO would end or lessen the resistance in some fashion.
1) Would European countries support turning Iraq into a NATO military operation if the UN were to take charge of the occupation (Bremer)?
2) Assume 1), would you think that France, Germany and other NATO members, besides those who already have sent troop, send more than token forces to Iraq?
3) Assume 1), do you think that Saddam/terrorists will stop trying to regain control if this becomes a UN/NATO occupation?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

It is shameful that people use this tragedy to discuss about putting down Berlusconi.. another reason why I'll NEVER vote a lefty party not even if I was starvingI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
