A lucky shot during early skirmishes. This has barely begun. I'm getting the popcorn in.

Helen: A lucky shot during early skirmishes.

I hope you're right.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.

Re: Europe (none / 0)

Oh yeh, the Vatican will be around long after Berlu is forgotten and they've dealt with his kind before.

Remember, they have other means of spreading the word beside the media. If they want to get rough, Berlu has less chance than Robert "Gamorrah" Savianno has of a quiet drink in Naples.

Wrong enemy. Really the wrong enemy.

But, by the same argument, they don't have to deal with him, as he will be gone eventually anyway. The question could become what will they get out of him in terms of legislation for leaving him alone.

Re: Europe (none / 0)

Berlu has gone beyond that. His sense of himself and his self-importance won't allow him to back down.

He is not a rational actor at this point.
