Most of your post was an acknowledgement of my earlier post, but this part is just totally wrong. First, Italy is not the Roman Empire. It's like saying after Canada takes all 49 states except for California (yes I took California because of it's mayor deficit) that it's still the same nation. Italy is one of the weaker links in the EU and it actually does not meet a lot of requirements of the EU. And Berlusconi is the only dictator that has ever ruled a democratic nation.
You see, I can criticize other countries too. Are you happy now, because that would really mean a lot to me.
