Response to “Italian Democracy” by Joshua Miller

I too agree with the author in saying that a person like Berlusconi should not be in office.  It’s ashamed that his ties to the media have prevented him from getting prosecuted for all of his crimes.

I found an article online that list all the things he been charged with.  From illegal financing of political party to tax fraud to bribing a judge the man has had nine criminal proceedings against him (and that’s only the ones that have reached a final appeals court).  And if you ask me that’s nine too many criminal proceedings for a prime minister.
