There's a lot of celebrating on the Left that Bush has lost an allie in the war on terror. They would have been right had it been a year ago or more, but Italy has done all it can in Iraq and no matter who's PM, their troops will pull out by years end.
Berlusconi has been the most effective PM in Italy since WWII and deserves a lot of praise for holding on as long as he did in one of the most messed up parliamentary systems in Europe. It's also interesting that Italy, like Germany seems to be split 50/50. It's not just an American trend. Now history awaits the event that will tip the balance.
