| Iran: Italians should look at disinvestment, says top official |
| 2008-06-09 |
| (AKI - By Ahmad Rafat ) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Italy was not a "missed opportunity", said Stefania Craxi, undersecretary for Foreign Affairs responsible for the Middle East and Iran. Craxi spoke to Adnkronos International (AKI) about Ahmadinejad's visit to the United Nations-sponsored global food summit organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. She also responded to criticism that the Italian government had missed an opportunity to meet the Iranian leader. "It would have been a missed opportunity if it had been presented," Craxi told AKI. “Ahmadinejad flew into Italy and repeated the usual complaints against Israel and the US, unacceptable positions for us. I have the feeling that the Iranian president is using these declarations for his re-election, trying to raise fanatical feelings from that section of the population that must re-elect him but forcing the West to look for every possibility of dialogue." Speaking about the meeting that took place between Ahmadinejad and a group of Italian entrepreneurs, Craxi said "our voice cannot only be about business and Italian companies sooner or later have to face the political problem". |

| #1 Italian "entrepreneurs" had better be tracked down then, along with any Russian Mafia, or anyone else willing to profit from this A**holes' schemes. Apparently all roads lead out of Rome and little nuclear doggies could wind up on the trail through Texas, Kansas City, or Omaha. |
