Because of the parties of the Left, for two whole years, from 2006 to 2008, Italy showed to be in a subordinate position in Europe, sea-roving in the politics of the Middle East, unsure towards the threats of international terrorism, in its relations with the United States and Nato, hesitant in keeping the commitments taken, but thanks to Silvio Berlusconi, it gained back the international trust and the role that it deserved as the Country founder of the European Community. Silvio Berlusconi consolidated ties with the United States, he mediated during the crisis in Georgia in August 2008, and between USA and Libya; he also had a recognized and authoritative role in the obtaining lasting peace between Israel and Palestinians, he recreated between the United States and Russian Federation the same atmosphere of dialogue and friendship which had led to the summit in Pratica di Mare in 2003, and which ended the Cold War definitely.
We Italians would really want to know what you slashdotters think about it. Please, don't be shy, these are hard times, we need all the support we can possibly get.
