BENGHAZI, Libya (AFP) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Saturday apologised to Libya for damage inflicted by Italy during the colonial era and signed a five-billion-dollar investment deal by way of compensation.

I always knew Berlusconi had it in him. It's a shame Italy's big stick policy of the past and forceful thrusts at colonization made such a mess of Laybia. Laybia is a gentle area that needs to be caressed and massaged diplomatically in order to generate positive feelings.
