Howdy moomoo,

I do appreciate Italy's contribution..they have lost lives as well,and it's a tradgedy,that anyone had to be hurt or killed,because it could have been prevented..we may never know-why the driver ignored flashing lights,warning sirens,signs,warning shots fired in front of the car,soldiers waving their hands frantically,ignoring established and well-known protocols for approaching check-points in a war-zone,amplified voice warnings..etc..a real shame-that all those warnings..were not enough. Maybe if our soldiers had lain down in the road..the driver would have at least slowed down.

Once again,I apologize if I have offended anyone with Italian blood.
