| #11 Reminds me of one of my favorite Movie scenes, in "Rocket Man" the Natzis are in America trying to steal the plans, the FBI AND the Gangsters are both out with thompsons mowing down the Natzis, and the head goon, shoots past the head FBI man, who turns and looks surprised he's alive, the head goon says "I may be a crook, but I'm an american", they grin at each other and go their own ways. |

| #5 Geez, this is Italy. Berlusconi makes a phone call, and every Muslim with any connection to this gets his legs broken. Probably a bunch more get their legs broken on general principles. One of the advantages of being connected. |
