Mrs Berlusconi: I didn't vote for my husband - Iraq

[dArKeR]

Rome - Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's media-savvy prime minister, may have won over millions of voters, but not his own wife.

According to a biography on sale this week in Italy, Veronica Lario did not agree with her husband's decision to back the invasion of Iraq and acknowledges he has a conflict of interest inherent in his dual role as prime minister and media baron - two criticisms that are often raised by the country's opposition left-wing parties.

Worst still, Mrs Berlusconi has never voted for her husband's Forza Italia party.

3. I know that this is a very small pebble, but Americans need to know it

Too many folks view the actions of a few bribed/coerced leaders as the true feelings of their people.

I love Berlusconi's wife.
