Hi friends,

as many of you maybe know, Italy will be holding national election on Sunday, April 9. These are very important elections, given that from it will depend the future of the Coalition of the Willing in the war on terror. If Berlusconi is re-elected, Italy will continue to be a strong U.S. ally. On the other hand, if former chief of the EU Commission, Romano Prodi wins, Italy will join the Spain-France-Germany axis.

So far, all we know is that the outcome risks to be too close to call and there might be a run-off.

It’s quite hard to predict who will be the winner. One could say Berlusconi will, as could Prodi.

I’ll be covering the Italian election from Sunday morning.

UPDATE: Unholy-Alliance Update: MUSLIMS TOLD TO VOTE COMMUNIST .UCOII is a Muslim group that controls most of the Italy-based mosques and supports suicide bombings and terror groups. The vice-editor of Il Corriere della Sera, the great Egyptian-born investigative journalist and secularist Magdi Allam reports frequently about UCOII as being the Italian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, aka Hamas.
