Sorry

I wonder if they report this in the US?

The BBC has an article up right now about The White House's apology to Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister of Italy. They recently distributed a briefing to reporters ahead of G8 describing him as being "hated by many" and his country as being "known for governmental corruption and vice." Berlusconi wasn't too happy about it, especially since he and Bust agreed just last month what good friends they are.

Also, Russia is upset about the US signing a deal in Prague about missile defense in the Czech Republic and warns that "If a US strategic anti-missile shield starts to be deployed near our borders, we will be forced to react not in a diplomatic fashion but with military-technical means."

Sigh. Maybe the sun will come out next week.

Russia's insistence on using violence as a threat against purely defensive anti-ballistic-missile technology is a sign that Russia wants to be able to continue to use violence to threaten the region. I'm mostly fine with taking that ability away from them.
