The White House has told the american people and various diplomats that the decision by Burlesconi to withdraw troops from Iraq starting in September has nothing to do with Calipari's death.

Italians mobilised more than five million people to protest against the illegal invasion of Iraq.

They walked regularly under the rainbow flag of peace from the castle of the angel in Rome through the streets.

The disobedientti movement stopped trains carrying troops. The left and liberals and church mobilised.

That was two years ago.

Then on St Joseph's day, Bush went into Babalon.

In the meantime over 60 Italian servicemen and women have been killed. The latest one died yesterday.

In the meantime two Italian aid workers of a peace group were held for a long time and eventually released.

In the meantime many other Italian journalists were kidnapped, ransoms were paid, some released, some not.

Italy and the Italians suffered one and all as a result of Silvio Burlosconi's decision to support the "coalition of the willing" and offer military assistance to the illegal invasion of Iraq which sought to replace the Saddam regime by over-ruling the UN, trashing the findings of the UNs arms and atomic investigators, breaking international law, "not controlling oil", for what?

"to help democracy emerge"
"to demonise Islam by blaming the Iraqi people for the 911 event".

as the italian press see it today-

Meanwhile Burlosconi has come under criticism for announcing the troop withdrawl on TV rather than in the parliament. Surely a sign of his disrespect for the institutions of state and government. It might now be time to look back over the last 3 years "put Burlosconi through the indymedia search engine" and see his disregard for the lives of Italians, his preference for bribery, his unwarranted control of broadcast media, his coalitions of the wicked at home and abroad, his plastic surgery.

all of it.

There will now be more Oil and more Smack routes and more unhappy militants for the kid soldiers of the USA to deal with.

"The world is surely a safer place".
