5. This latest news is just fantastic.
Berlusconi is a corrupt, vain, pompous, dishonest, hypocritical and opportunsitc charlatan.

But all his failings pale in comparison to his Iraq "policy", for which he will be utterly damned by history.

The "policy" was entirely about Berlusconi playing the macho-man for domestic political purposes. That's all the Italian policy on Iraq amounted to.

It had absolutely nothing to do with any conviction or world-view or serious foreign policy position. It was all about Berlusconi, the polls, image and ego. Jesus, at least the American Neo-Cons actually believed in their insane project - this fucker was just playing a big game, with no end other than self-agrandisement. No other consoderations. None. It is just so fucking disgusting it is hard to bear.

War as vanity project. God damn this fucking wanker.
