Italy's new Prime Minister Romano Prodi certainly isn't pissing about. He gave his first speech to the Senate today - and immediately announced his government's intention to withdraw from Iraq. There is no date as yet - he noted that an exact timetable would have to be worked out with the Iraqis and the Americans - but given the speed with which he's moved on the issue, you can expect it to be soon.
I guess democracy beats the "coalition of the willing" once again...
