What is this guy's problem?
I know, it's only the NY Post (how did they get into Google News BTW?), but this is awful.
http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/385.htm

Does he know anything about European history?
About Berlusconi's political direction?
About comparing Bush, let alone Sharon, to Hitler or calling one of them a Nazi being extremely political incorrect in Germany? (a Minister would have to resign, if she/he said someting like that. One already did.)

Highlights:

"a German Green is a Gestapo wannabe with a red paint-job"
--snap
Wow, a real expert.

--snip
Berlusconi isn't playing along. The Italian prime minister isn't a member of the snitty little club of European politicians who spend their adult lives commuting between Brussels, Strasbourg and their own capitals. He comes from the business world, where men and women actually have to accomplish things. And Super-Silvio accomplished plenty.
--snap
Ahh, that explains the Energy crisis and recession in Italy.

1. Not to mention
the indictments against Berlusconi for possible criminal activities.

2. ...and the Italian law that was conveniently passed
to protect the "successful businessman turned prime minister" from having to answer to these indictments!

3. Im still in a daze
from reading that crap. It seems he'll jump on any bandwagon just to degrade the Germans and French. "God bless those Muslim extremists, refusing to eat brautwurst, they sure showed those Germans something!"
