He was on a student exchange that went ahead in spite of the insanity. His plane was diverted enroute to clear airspace for the B-52s coming out of England. His first day was supposed to be in his host school but everything shut down to protest our invasion. Everyone went into the streets. Since then we have had one tragedy after another that hurt the Italians deeply. I don't think we are any more loved there now than we were four years ago. I wrote a piece against the war in January of 2003 and it was printed in the Milan daily and in Itlay's national Catholic magazine. I talk to my friends in Italy every week. They hate our government and question what we let happen in 2004.
