Quickie: Perhaps Silvio Berlusconi and Tom Delay should spend a weekend together in political detox. I hate to say it, but it's hard to focus on what's happening in the world when here in the U.S. our own political situation is more like something out of a tabloid than anything resembling actual normal politics. These two are birds of a feather in more ways than one; both have a healthy disrespect for judges and a penchant for changing the laws and rules when those laws and rules don't suit their purposes (or are about to land them in hot water). Anyway, enough of that diversion -- needless to say I don't have much faith in the ability of either man to contribute anything of value to fighting the war on terrorism. Anyone who puts personal political survival ahead of the national interest in a way that imperils their government cannot be trusted to deal appropriately with the issues associated with terrorism.
