The appearance-aware Italian PM, Silvio Berlusconi, looks to be ready for a new foray into confidence-building between nations; he’s quoted as wanting to smooth the way for America’s President-elect, Barack Obama:
“I will try to help relations between Russia and the United States where a new generation has come to power, and I don’t see problems for Medvedev to establish good relations with Obama who is also handsome, young and suntanned”.
