Reds, Greens Out
They got no seats in Italy’s parlaiment, and Berlusconi’s back in. Ledeen at the Corner notes that Germany, France and Italy have now fallen to conservatives:
Tomorrow’s papers will pretend that this didn’t happen, and warn that Berlusconi’s allies in the Northern League are mercurial and dangerous, and that his majority isn’t as stable as it looks. But it is. And there’s an even more annoying feature to these elections, as seen by the chattering classes: Berlusconi is an outspoken, even passionate admirer of George W. Bush and the United States of America. Reminds one of the elections that brought Sarkozy to the Elysee, doesn’t it? Best to keep that quiet, or somebody might notice that hatred of America doesn’t seem to affect the voters in Italy, France or Germany.
Ledeen adds that Itay is down to six parties, and could even be on the road to no longer being the Italy of European politics.
Great, anyway, now how about a little Euro-responsibility in Iraq, Afghanistan.

By golly, fresh air is blowing across the world. Let’s hope it finally sweeps away the rotten smell of 20th century sociocommunist failure.
