    Grazie signor Presidente, spero sinceramente che le sue parole siano seguite dai fatti, le parole se rimangono tali non hanno alcun effetto.

    Con stima.

    Ps. non ha un fratello da inviare in Italia per sostituire Berlusconi?

    Well done, my president!

    And what was the Iranian response before the end of the week?

    " We will finish and operate a nuclear powerplant by the end of the year."

    well done, President Amateur
