Tragedy and operetta

Have thought that Sarkozy, what must have thought the European leaders meeting in Paris when he arrived Silvio Berlusconi? They were shaking hands with the premier of a great country whose presence is crucial in the coalition seeking to oust Qaddafi? Or in their minds the image of the polished gentleman with a smile fake remains difficult to separate from the room, ridiculous expression that follows him for months and follows us around the world: bunga bunga?

Sorry to say, but before the leadership of French and British leadership we risk being used to that role subordinate to the Russian minister indignantly rejects when he says "Never let the keys to our house." It will be difficult to avoid, as we are represented by a weak government, shaken by the defection League, frightened by the waves of immigration from Africa.

Moreover, led by a prime minister who yesterday kissed the hand of the enemy today. And that is one foot in Palazzo Chigi in the other court. , March 20, 2011
