| #9 -- My 9 year old son and I were talking about this last night. He got it. "Dad, if you are around all those Army guys with machine guns pointed at you, you better do what they say."-- Out of the mouths of babes, Rodney King's lesson. |

| #8 My 9 year old son and I were talking about this last night. He got it. "Dad, if you are around all those Army guys with machine guns pointed at you, you better do what they say." Tragic incident, but we will just have to go through the motions of regret, etc. etc. It will drop off the radar screen in time. The driver was stupid. The military did what they needed to do to protect themselves. Most Iraqi drivers seem to get it now. |

| #7 Having driven among Italians for three years, they do drive offensively [vice defensively] and crazy - But - with style. Their concept of slowing down is somewhat different than what a stateside Highway Patrol man would interpret as prudent deacceleration - sometimes known as a Jersey Stop. |

| #6 I think you explained it, SPOD and EL. The driver was slowing down! |

| #5 Try the crazy Italian driver. Isn't that redundant, SPoD? Step off the curb at your own risk... heck, go NEAR the edge at your own risk in Italy. |

| #4 Repeated car bombings + high speed driving towards an American military position + lack of coordination with said Ameicans on the egress route = a lot of sh*t down range. Don't take it personally, we'd do it to anyone, regardless of color, race or creed. We're equal opportunity practitioners. See, you didn't even have to paint CNN on the car to get our attention. |

| #1 Berlusconi: Someone will have to take responsibility for such a serious incident. From what we know so far, that culpabilty rests with the driver who recklessly tried to run a military check point. Not a wise action on his part. |
