Outrage In Italy

Italians were some of the most vociferous opponents of the war in Iraq partly because there government (headed by plutocrat Berlesconi) is a junior partner in the "coalition of the willing." The latest outrage by the US military has Italian in a state of national mourning. This incident combined with the Gondola incident where 20 Italians were killed by US pilots who were having some fun flying low makes for a very high level of anti yankee feeling in Italia.
