...news, and the leader's name was not Bush, but Nixon. The only competition film explicitly about U.S. foreign policy, Hiner Saleem's Kilometre Zero, presents Iraq's sorry history from an anti-Saddam, pro-U.S. viewpoint and ends in April 2003 with its Kurdish hero exulting as coalition soldiers march into Baghdad.

Former Italian Foreign Minister Gianni De Michelis told Time that the disputed findings could potentially fracture the alliance in Iraq. "This can only be good for the Italian opposition and for European anti-American sentiment in general," said De Michelis, who advises Berlusconi on foreign affairs. More immediately, it's a further blow for Berlusconi, bruised by dismal regional election results and sniping coalition partners. De Michelis says the foreign policy setback only makes things worse ahead of national elections...
