ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said today he had tried to stop US President George W Bush from going to war against Iraq.
“I didn’t support every action of the United States. I tried to persuade them not to intervene militarily,” Berlusconi said.
“But when I saw there was no way (to prevent it), I stood by the United States.”
