Now they have done it. They have pissed off the Pope! Maybe we can get him to declare a "Holy War." That would get Boykin off the hook.

Sounds like they didn't have a good barrier up. Everybody has to learn the hard way.

Berlusconi Says Italy Won't Be Intimidated by Bombing
By REUTERS

BAGHDAD, Nov. 12 — A bomb blast killed at least 20 people -- 12 Italians and eight Iraqis -- in the Iraqi town of Nasiriya on Wednesday, hospital officials told Reuters.

The suspected suicide attack, which also wounded at least 12 people, targeted the headquarters of the Italian military police in the southern town.

A spokesman for the Carabinieri force in Rome said nine of the Italians killed were military police and three were from the army.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said Italy would not be intimidated by the bombing.

"No intimidation will budge us from our willingness to help that country rise up again and rebuild itself with self-government, security and freedom," he said in a statement.

Pope John Paul said the bombing attack was a "vile attack" against a misssion of peace.

In a strong message to Italy's president, the pope said he wanted to express his "most firm condemnation" for what he called the latest in a string of horrifying episodes in the country.
