How to treat internal and external enemies

It seems that Italian anti-globalization and communist groups and Iranian agents were involved in the road-side bomb that killed three Italian soldiers in Iraq last week.

If prime minister-elect Romani Prodi has any balls, he

- outlaws those leftist groups and charges their members with treason;
- cuts relations with the Iranian regime;
- cancels the planned withdrawal of the Italian forces from Iraq.

But of course we know it won't happen. I wouldn't even be surprised if Prodi pulls off a Zapatero and actually hastens the withdrawal of the Italian forces.
