Not sure how staying out of the fight will accomplish the latter, maybe they think being unsupportive of the rebels cause in their hour of need, will make them less attractive as a future destination whether in victory or defeat?<br /><br />Nice summary here:<br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13845525" rel="nofollow">Italy's Northern League Reviews Support for Berlusconi (BBC)</a>Wstrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-62007777528589666392011-06-22T21:23:21.000-04:002011-06-22T21:23:21.000-04:00Once again - what are the vital national interests...Once again - what are the vital national interests of the United States at risk in Lybia?
