However, Mr Quattrocchi's family said he might have lived if Mr Berlusconi had not made "rash" comments after the kidnappings.

"Before making declarations of force, the government would have done better to have opened talks with the kidnappers," the family said.

dumbass....yeah, and muslims will stop killings us after we convert to Islam

"Fabrizio was a wonderful man, a man of iron but who had never hurt a fly," his fiancee, Alice, told Italian television yesterday. "He was supposed to come back to me and we were to be married.

"The only consolation is that he died with honour."

What a man. "Now I will show you how an Italian dies!"

I will hoist a drink to that man tonight, and recognize his courage and his character. And trust that the Marines will exact a grim justice for him.

This is multiculturalism allright. I don't think the Italians will be "celebrating" this "diversity."

Apparently your son disagreed.

The Italians must be very restrained. If this happened to my man, I would be uncontrollable. My trial would be nationwide news. The time I would receive would be nothing compared to the hellish anger I would feel every day.

My tears and prayers are with this man and his family.

"He may have died a hero but he is still dead,"

Everyone dies eventually. Everyone. What's important is how one lives their life. This brave man chose to live--and die--with dignity and valor by standing up to these brutal terrorists. Unlike the daily sobbing and hand-wringing from those who would appease and assist these terrorists.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stuart Mill

========= Fabrizio Quattrocchi =========

BREAKING:

Italian hostage Fabrizio Quattrocchi, kidnapped by Iraqi (read Iranian and Syrian) terrorists
was murdered as the terrorists posed for Al-Jazeera television which was going to
show his vicious murder until he said, "I'm going to show you how an Italian dies."
Al-Jazeera which has NO trouble masking out terrorists faces and showing beheadings
decided this comment of heroism facing terror could not go out. It has not.


Fabrizio Quattrocchi, 36, in better times.

Great quote by John Stuart Mill. I know he was an atheist, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to the quotation here.

Berlesconi doesn't mess around.
Apparently, they don't have CNN around to have watched Mr. B spank the EU for the past 15 months, just because he could.

Is there any way that we can help his family and fiancee?

I thought when I read this that there still is some blood of the Roman Centurions flowing in Italians today.

Terrorists cannot defeat us
They can only kill us

If WE do not stand up to terrorists
then by bowing, we defeat ourselves
NEVER give in to terrorists

I'm betting they pissed themselves over that.
You know they weren't expecting it, what with Saddam and Sadr giving up like chicks and Osama running away.

They've got to be wondering about those Roman Catholics - big time.
