#3 WTF! Post on page 2 by .com on Italian protests has police saying 7,000,UPI qouting reporters at 10,000 protestors and,protest supporters claiming 200,000(talk about your fuzzy math),w/all agreeing protests much smaller than expected.I think this story was written by reporter before protests occurred w/reporter buying into organizer's press release.

Italy still has a lot of commies & wackos. Marching & protesting over something is a normal affair.

Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is rock solid behind US in battling the jihadists.

#5 The truth to the matter is tomorrows Asia and Euro dead tree news hardly even mention the numbers "Throngs" and "in the Thousands" is what I am reading for tomorrows papers...

Ansa news agency put the numbers at around 7,000

So don't believe the BS. The Italians saw one of there own shot in the head a month ago. They also have a pretty good memory of who saved there ass from the Nazi's.

The Italians are with the USA.

#8 He helped bring down Communism in Eastern Europe. But his time has passed. The Catholic Church really needs a retirement program for popes. The church spends years in paralysis waiting for a sickly pope to die, while the world moves on and problems are allowed to fester.

#9 SMN -
Why would you say that? The Prez was blessed by the Pope and the last words to GWB was "God Bless American". GWB will be "crowned" again, as in 4 more years of driving the left into dirt!

#10 Feel better, by that 'Long Hair Republican', I just thought the near in your face criticism the Pope 'fired' at Bush could have been tempered. Thanks anyway!

#12 Its' easy enough to travel in Europe and Germany has a large supply of protestors on demand. I wouldn't be surprised if over half were not Italian.
