Berlusconi Bails

The Christian Science Monitor rounds up all the latest on Italy, including this:

    “I have never been convinced war was the best way to succeed in making a country democratic and extract it from [a] … bloody dictatorship,” [Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi] says. “I tried on several occasions to convince the American president not to wage war.”

In other news, the Bush-Berlusconi press conference scheduled for today was cancelled.
