US embassy cable - 05ROME3050

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

solidarity and closeness of myself and all of the members of

this to you in person next week in New York on the occasion
