From Romano Prodi
I am not overconfident.
Moreover, resolving the mother of all problems - the Israeli-Palestinian question - requires cooperation between Europe and the U.S.
I don't want to pass a punitive law, or use politics as a vendetta.
But Italy can only have any real influence on world affairs if it carries weight in Europe.
Foreign policy can mean several things, not only foreign policy in the narrow sense. It can cover foreign policy, relations with the developing world, and enlargement as well.
Italy is divided between us and them, rich and poor, north and south, young and old, employed and unemployed.
I am not a newcomer, you know, so I want to be judged for what I did when I was prime minister last time in Italy and president of the European Commission for more than five years.
The Italian economy is certainly the weakest of the big European countries.
No one wants to lose their job, or cede the power they've acquired.
